Great and Holy Saturday
Then he took the body down from the cross and wrapped it in a long sheet of linen cloth and laid it in a new tomb that had been carved out of rock.—Luke 23:53 (NLT)
Holy Saturday rep resents an anxious, in-between state. Jesus’ life had brutally ended, and He was placed in a tomb for three days. All of us experience upsetting, in-between states when the rhythm of life is uprooted by loss or failure. When life is in a liminal state, ask God to help you hold on and have faith.
Lord, in this world I will have tribulation, but I will be courageous because You have overcome the world.

Fear Not
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.
The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
