He Weeps with You

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept.—John 11:33–35 (NIV)
In times of loss, remind yourself that you are not alone. God knows what it feels like to grieve. After Lazarus died, when Jesus saw Martha, He was deeply upset, and He wept. When you are in the depths of sorrow, offer your pain to Jesus, know that He weeps with you.
Heavenly Father, one day You will wipe every tear from my eyes.

Feed Your Spirit

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”—John 6:35 (NIV)

In the same way that you need daily nourishment to feed your body, you must spend time with Jesus to keep your spirit healthy and strong. When Jesus says, “I am the Bread of Life,” He is telling you that He can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul.
Lord, You are the manna that sustains me in the desert of my daily life.
