Friday, September 9 — Psalm 106:13–23
Ruth 2,3; Luke 23:13–31
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. Isaiah 43:2
Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid?” Mark 4:39–40
Ever-present God, there is great comfort in knowing that when life is darkest, you are a light in the darkness with us. We forget that there is no detail of our lives that is too insignificant for you. May we be reminded that you care about all of our struggles; that what matters to us, matters to you. Amen.
