CONNECT 20

    Monday

    INTRO

    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.

    SCRIPTURE

    And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.

    - Luke 22:14

    DEVOTIONAL

    Have you ever noticed how your perspective completely shifts when someone you love walks into the room? Suddenly, the chaos doesn't seem as overwhelming, and peace begins to settle in your heart. This is what happens when we truly see Jesus in our circumstances. Many of us have been taught that gratitude means saying 'thank you' when good things happen. But authentic gratitude runs much deeper than circumstantial thankfulness. It's not about what's happening around us—it's about recognizing who is with us. When Jesus shared His final Passover with the disciples, He knew they were about to face the darkest moment of their lives. Yet He gave them a symbol that would remind them of His presence even in their deepest despair. He wasn't asking them to be grateful for the crucifixion, but to remember that He was still there, still working, still loving them through it all. The same is true for you today. Whether you're facing celebration or crisis, Jesus is present. When you become aware of His nearness, something supernatural happens—peace settles into your soul. Not because your problems disappear, but because the Problem-Solver is right there with you. This kind of gratitude doesn't require perfect circumstances. It simply requires open eyes to see that you're never alone, never forgotten, and never beyond the reach of His love.

    PRAY

    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.

    SHARE

    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!


    Memory Verse

    I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

    - Psalm 119:11
