Jesus cried out while on the cross, “Father, why have You forsaken me?” It’s as if He felt singular, alone and without understanding why He was suffering. Nevertheless, when the suffering was concluded, the reason and message of His suffering became increasingly clear.

Usually, it’s after our suffering that we begin seeing reasons and benefits of what we’ve just been through. If we don’t, we can become bitter and negative in our outlook. To prevent this, we must keep in God’s Word to keep our heart soft in God’s hands.

“Into Thy hands I commit My Spirit.”

DAILY PRAYER: Lord Jesus, You are our perfect example of how to live and suffer. We trust You for eternal results when we go through trials.

DAILY READING: Matthew 27,28
