We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
"As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God." - Psalm 42:1 (English Standard Version (ESV))
You were not made to feel empty. That restlessness you carry, that quiet ache that nothing seems to fully satisfy, is not a flaw. It is actually a clue. God designed your soul with a specific purpose in mind: to find its fullness in Him. Before sin entered the picture, Adam was whole. His Spirit was alive to God, and that connection fed everything the soul craved. When sin broke that connection, the soul did not stop longing. It just started looking in the wrong places. Food, relationships, success, comfort. We chase them all, hoping one of them will finally be enough. None of them ever are. Here is the good news. Through Jesus Christ, that broken connection can be restored. His work on the cross removed the barrier between you and God. Your Spirit can be made alive again. And when it is, the soul can finally begin finding what it has always been searching for. You do not have to keep chasing things that leave you empty. There is a better way, and His name is Jesus.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
- Hebrews 13:8
