Prayer

Jesus invites us to come to Him with our confusion and our longing (Matthew 11:28).

Father, I'm sitting with the weight of Jesus' words—that He alone is the way to You. Some days that feels like freedom. Other days it feels narrow, confining, even offensive to a world that says all paths lead somewhere. I'm tempted to soften it, to make it more comfortable. But I'm asking You to deepen my trust. Help me see that His exclusivity is actually an invitation to certainty, to a relationship that's real and unshakeable. Give me courage to follow Him fully, not halfway. In Jesus' name, Amen.
