Overcomer
What is the worst day of your life? Our worst days often involve the death of a loved one, a shocking diagnosis, or sometimes it just strings out like the discouragement of chronic pain.
No matter how we try to prepare ourselves for what we all know is coming, death and pain feel terribly wrong. Why is that?
Well, they feel wrong because they're wrong. You were not created for death; you were created for life, for growth, for thriving and overflowing joy.
When Jesus came, He died in your place on the cross. He took the sin and the pain—all that is wrong of this whole world— He took it on Himself. But He didn't stay dead. He overcame death.
And this is the hope for every person.
Pray with me.
Lord, I've had terrible days. But today, I put my life into Your loving hands. I'm asking for life in the place of death, hope in the place of despair. And I pray these things in Your name, Jesus. Amen.
