Daily Grind Devotions

Mercy is something we all need, and it's promised in a short passage tucked in the middle of the book of Lamentations:  "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;his mercies never come to an end;They are new every morning;great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 Jesus mentioned a catch when it comes to mercy in Matthew 5:7. Listen along.

Jesus is recorded as saying, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty" in John 6:35 Consider that for a moment. The emptiness we feel will never again feel empty when we fill it with Jesus. He has so much more for us than a quote to share or a gathering on Sunday.

In Romans 8:26-27 Paul reminds us we're not alone when we just don't what - or how - to pray. In today's devotion, we consider the translator speaking on our behalf in those moments.

Gathering to worship is truly a gift. But what about the times you just...don't...want to?
