Today’s Quote on Life’s Tests

“Whether at home, at church, at work, or on the highway, consider each person you meet as someone undergoing a test in progress that you may not be aware of. Will you switch lanes to bypass them? Or will you offer a word of encouragement? Ask Jesus to give you the same attitude He has for others. Thank Him for loving and accepting us wherever we are in our tests in progress.”

A Prayer for Today

“Father God, devastating circumstances have left me so weary. When things in my life feel so uncertain, I am tempted to shrink back in fear. But when I press into the truth of Your love, it leaves me hopeful. Even when my normal gets hijacked, thank You for the promise that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

~Lysa Terkeurst
