Depend on God's grace

Make a little room for the Word today.

01 / Read

Matthew 19:26

“With God all things are possible.”
Read the full passage: Matthew 19:16–30

02 / Reflect

Pause with the passage.

Jesus' words about what is possible with God come in a conversation about salvation. They turn our attention away from self-sufficiency and toward God's grace. Read the passage and consider what you find difficult to surrender.

What are you tempted to trust more than God?

03 / Respond

One small step today.

Name that attachment in prayer and choose one act of generosity or surrender.

04 / Pray

Bring it to God.

God, I depend on Your grace. Loosen my grip on what competes with following Jesus. Amen.

Carry it into your day

Keep listening.
