This is the one-minute slice of today's morning companion: a verse and a step. If it helps, there's a quiet door to the full day below.
“When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, ‘Who then can be saved?’ Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:25-26
Name the one thing you've been fighting for days. A conversation that keeps failing. A habit you can't step out of. A person you cannot change. Say it out loud to God in a single sentence, and add this: I'm giving it to you today, fight it for me.
And so your hand doesn't stay empty, put something in it: use your mouth for encouragement today. A good word, a bit of praise you've been keeping to yourself, a piece of gossip you walk away from. Where you took the fight out, put a blessing in. Whoever isn't struggling for himself has his hands free for others.
