Hope in the Cross, Day by Day

Many believers approach the Cross like a monument. It is more like a clinic for the soul.

When the day collapses and guilt piles up, Jesus does not ask first about productivity. He asks if you are willing to bring the broken parts to Him.

The first move is never pretending.

The second move is remembering:

The cross is not the last chapter, even when it feels like the last thing left.

Try this on Thursday night prayer:

• Pray through one painful memory.
• Ask for repentance, not shame.
• Ask for hope, not avoidance.

That is the movement from survival to trust.
