Lord, always give us this bread!

Nothing satisfies the soul, like a word from God. We must come to the place where we live by His word, like the sustenance of the food we eat. In the dry wilderness, Satan confronted our Lord, in the hunger of His fast, with a temptation to prove His sonship and transform a stone into bread.…

We all go through seasons where we lose hope. When it seems that nothing is working in your favor, you can become desperate for a breakthrough. You may even become so familiar with this feeling that you begin to say things like, “I don’t want to get my hopes up.” But when your hope is…
