Day 1: Embracing God's Reality Reading: Nehemiah 1:1-11 Devotional: As we begin this journey, we're reminded of Nehemiah's response to the devastating news about Jerusalem. Instead of turning away from the harsh reality, he chose to face it head-on. More importantly, he brought his concerns before God. Like Nehemiah, we often encounter difficult truths in our lives. The challenge is not to avoid them, but to embrace them while simultaneously embracing God's greater reality. Today, reflect on a challenging situation in your life. How can you bring this before God, allowing His presence to provide perspective and peace? Remember, prayer is the oxygen of the soul - breathe deeply of God's presence today.
