But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
— 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, NIV
God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.
— Watchman Nee
Prayer:
O Lord, I am torn up with grief.
I know you are there,
but I cannot see past my sorrow and tears.
Be with me, Lord,
and do not take my unhappiness to heart.
Rather, work within me to guide me
through these dark days
and bring your light to my life,
so that I may see your goodness, even in my mourning.
— Maureen Pratt
