Day 5: God's Presence in Our Suffering Reading: Romans 8:18-39 Devotional: The Israelites' exile was a time of great suffering, yet God never abandoned them. Similarly, our trials and tribulations don't mean God has forsaken us. Today's passage reminds us that nothing can separate us from God's love. In our deepest pain, God is present, working all things for good. Reflect on a difficult season in your life. How did you experience God's presence? How did that trial shape your faith? Today, if you're facing challenges, invite God into your pain. Trust that He is with you, using even your hardships to conform you to the image of Christ.
