Scripture Reading
Psalm 139:7-8
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
Reflection
On days of grief or darkness, the omnipresence of God is not a threat but a comfort — he is present even in the places we do not expect him, even in the depths. There is no experience so dark, no place so remote, that God is not already there. You cannot out-descend his presence.
Prayer for Today
Faithful Father, thank you that you are perfectly faithful; you never forget, never fail and never take back a promise. You have promised that you will respond to the prayer of the needy. Show compassion to me in my time of need Lord and comfort my heart as I mourn my loved one. Let me be filled with your Holy Spirit. You are the God of hope. Fill me with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit I may abound in hope. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Amen.
