My thoughts
Think you don't have time for a daily devotional? Too busy? Too many household chores? Too many taxi runs for the kids? Too many other demands on your time? Think again. This book has a very short Bible verse and a very brief message on each page. It won't take more than 2 minutes of your time. I squeeze it in every day, even when I'm running behind. It's just nice to take that brief moment and center yourself before the day begins.

Favorite Passage
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. -- Psalm 56:3, NLT

How did Jesus endure the terror of the crucifixion? He went first to the Father with his fears.

Do the same with yours. Don't avoid life's Gardens of Gethsemane. Enter them. Just don't enter them alone. And while there, be honest. Pounding the ground is permitted. Tears are allowed...

And be specific ... He knows what you need.
