“For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:33 (NKJV)

Exhausted, I knew the night’s sleep was going to be crucial. The night passed quickly, and suddenly my eyes opened to the “next day!” I rolled out, onto my knees, wanting to commit the day to Him who sits on the throne, and whose glory is above the heavens. The only petition I could pray was “please, give me (us) this day my daily Bread.” Food sustains, comforts, strengthens, and helps our bodies function. However, I wasn’t begging for physical food for this day that would bring heartache and turmoil, rather my soul was crying out for spiritual Bread. My soul needed strength that only comes from God and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Only by asking Him—begging Him—for His filling in my heart, would I make it. You’ve probably had days too when it is only by His grace that you made it.

Was it everything I had thought it would be? Yes, and tripled! The crisis we faced that morning within two hours had turned into three. Rolled into a ball of one it was a day that only God could have brought us through. What an unspeakable joy that—in the midst of trials—we have a God who is so caring that His love is bigger than any day’s problems. They do not go away, but He puts that yoke across our shoulders and His own shoulders taking the greater weight on Himself. Praise His Holy name!

“Holy God, we bless Your name which is above all names. We cannot make it even a second without You, but facing days with You by our side, sometimes with You even carrying us, is our only hope. Our hope is in You, Lord! Thank You for Your promise to be with us today!”

For His Glory
