Daily Scripture

“When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”'

John 5:6


devotion

It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing our struggles with others and making excuses for why we can't be whole. Jesus calls us to focus on our own journey and trust in His plan for our lives. Reflect on the ways you have compared your brokenness to others and made excuses for why you can't be whole. How can you shift your focus to Jesus and His unique plan for you? In what ways have you compared your struggles to others and made excuses for why you can't be whole? How can you shift your focus to Jesus and His plan for you?

Prayer:

Jesus, help me to stop comparing my struggles to others and making excuses. Teach me to trust in Your unique plan for my life and to focus on my own journey to wholeness. Amen.
