Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' (John 14:6)

Pray for the courage and power to become uncomfortable and be inconvenienced by situations and conditions that will grow you and bring you closer to Jesus.

“Live It!” Challenge

Do a clear and honest assessment of your life and comforts. Where are the challenges? Where can you grow if put through trials and difficulties? Allow yourself to engage in these circumstances with great expectations.
