Why It Cost Him

The cross is where the story has been heading all along. Three weeks on what happened there, why it had to, and what it means that the tomb did not stay shut — not to make anyone feel guilty, but to answer the question still sitting there: why would He bother?

New here? Each day has three short parts — a story, a bit of detail, and one verse that answers a lie we sometimes believe. There is a fuller guide on the reading pathway page, but you can simply start below. If that is all you manage, you have not missed the point.
The lie, and the truth. In each day the lie is written in grey, in quote marks, because it is something you have been told — not something that is true. The line underneath it is yours to say back. Out loud, if that helps.
If a week goes well, do it twice. Going through the same seven days a second time is not starting again. Most people notice things the second time that they walked straight past the first. Readings link to the Berean Standard Bible on Bible Hub; the printable version has them written out in full.

Foundations  ·  Block Two  ·  Week One

The road to the cross

Before the cross itself, watch how Jesus walks toward it — knowingly, deliberately, for people who did not ask and could not repay. Nobody takes His life; He lays it down. This week is about a love that goes willingly.

This week’s themeJesus went to the cross on purpose, out of love, for you.
This week’s Psalm
Psalm 40

A song about being lifted out of a pit and given a new song to sing. Read it once a day if you can — it is where this whole block is heading.

The verse to carry this week
“He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.”
Psalm 40:2

Write it down — the words and the reference — and put it where you will see it: on the fridge, the bathroom mirror, or the back of the door, so it catches your eye through the week.

Day 1

A costly gift

The Story
Mark 14:1–9 — 9 verses

A woman pours a jar of expensive perfume over Jesus — a year’s wages, gone in a moment. The room calls it waste. Jesus calls it beautiful, and says she is preparing Him for His burial. She understood what was coming before His friends did.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Mark 14:10–11

In the very next breath, one of the twelve goes to sell Him. Extravagant love and cold betrayal, side by side.

Lies we sometimes believe
“Giving your best to God is a waste.”
What God actually says
“She has done a beautiful deed to Me.”
Mark 14:6
To think about, or write down
  • The room saw waste; Jesus saw worship. What do you hold back from God for fear it is too much?
  • She gave without being asked. What might it look like to give God something extravagant?
  • Judas valued Jesus at a price. The woman valued Him beyond price. Which are you nearer to today?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus receives what we bring and calls it beautiful — that nothing given to Him in love is ever wasted. Then, in your own words, offer Him something you have been holding back.
Day 2

The long night in the garden

The Story
Mark 14:32–42 — 11 verses

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus is so distressed He sweats blood. He asks the Father, if there is any other way, to take this cup from Him — and then says the hardest words in the Bible: yet not what I will, but what You will. He chose it, fully knowing the cost.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Mark 14:43–50

How the night ends: a betrayer’s kiss, a drawn sword, and every friend running away into the dark.

Lies we sometimes believe
“God cannot understand what you are going through.”
What God actually says
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.”
Hebrews 4:15
To think about, or write down
  • Jesus knew fear and dread in that garden. How does it change things that God is not a stranger to what you feel?
  • ‘Not what I will, but what You will.’ Where is that the hardest prayer for you to pray?
  • His friends slept while He suffered. Have you felt alone in your hardest hour — and where was God in it?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus understands fear and sorrow from the inside — that you have a God who has been where you are (Hebrews 4). Then, in your own words, tell Him what you are dreading.
Day 3

On trial for the truth

The Story
Mark 15:1–15 — 15 verses

Jesus stands before Pilate, silent to most of the accusations. The crowd that cheered Him days earlier now shouts for Him to be crucified, and a violent man is set free in His place. The innocent takes the guilty one’s freedom.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Mark 14:66–72

While Jesus is on trial, Peter is outside denying he ever knew Him — three times, just as Jesus said. Then the rooster crows, and Peter weeps.

Lies we sometimes believe
“If people really knew you, they would turn on you.”
What God actually says
“But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
To think about, or write down
  • Barabbas walked free because Jesus took his place. That is the whole gospel in one swap — how does it land for you?
  • The same crowd cheered and then condemned. Have people turned on you? What does it mean that Jesus faced that too?
  • Peter failed badly this night — and it was not the end of his story. Hold on to that.
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Christ died for us while we were still in the wrong — that His love did not wait for us to deserve it (Romans 5). Then, in your own words, thank Him for taking your place.
Day 4

The King who served

The Story
John 13:1–17 — 17 verses

On His last night, Jesus wraps a towel round His waist and washes His friends’ feet — the job of the lowest servant in the house. The King of everything kneels at the feet of men who will soon abandon Him. This is what God’s greatness looks like.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
John 13:18–30

He washes the feet of Judas too, knowing exactly what Judas is about to do. Love served the one who would betray it.

Lies we sometimes believe
“You have to earn your place by being useful.”
What God actually says
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:45
To think about, or write down
  • Jesus washed the feet of the man who would betray Him. Is there someone you could not imagine serving?
  • Greatness, to Jesus, looked like kneeling. How does that compare with what the world calls great?
  • He served before He was served. Where might you be waiting to be valued before you give anything?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus came to serve and to give His life for you — that you do not have to earn your place (Mark 10). Then, in your own words, ask Him to help you receive it as a gift.
Day 5

It is finished

The Story
John 19:16–30 — 15 verses

The crucifixion itself. Jesus carries His own cross, is nailed to it, and after hours of agony says three words: ‘It is finished.’ Not ‘I am finished’ — the work is done, the debt is paid, in full, forever. Then He gives up His spirit.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Luke 23:32–43

Beside Him, a dying criminal asks simply to be remembered. Jesus promises him paradise that very day — no time to earn it, and none needed.

Lies we sometimes believe
“You still have to pay for what you have done.”
What God actually says
“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; by His stripes you are healed.”
1 Peter 2:24
To think about, or write down
  • ‘It is finished’ — paid in full. What debt are you still trying to pay that He has already cleared?
  • The thief was welcomed with nothing to offer but his need. What does that say about what God asks of you?
  • Sit with the cost. Why do you think He was willing to pay it?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that on the cross Jesus said ‘it is finished’ — that the debt is fully paid and nothing is left owing (1 Peter 2). Then, in your own words, hand Him the thing you are still trying to pay for.
Day 6

The silent day

The Story
Matthew 27:57–66 — 10 verses

Jesus is buried. A borrowed tomb, a heavy stone, a guard posted. For His friends this was the end — the worst day, with no hint yet of Sunday. Sometimes faith means waiting in the dark before you know how the story turns.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Psalm 40:1–3

‘I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.’ The waiting is real — and so is the lifting out.

Lies we sometimes believe
“This darkness is the end of the story.”
What God actually says
“Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Psalm 30:5
To think about, or write down
  • The friends did not yet know Sunday was coming. Where are you waiting in the dark right now?
  • Saturday felt like the end but was not. How might that reframe a hard season you are in?
  • What would it mean to trust God in the waiting, before you can see the outcome?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that the darkness is never the end with God — that joy comes in the morning even when the night feels long (Psalm 30). Then, in your own words, tell Him where you are still waiting.
Day 7

Catch up, or sit still

The Story
Psalm 40

Read the Psalm slowly, or go back to any day you missed. It is the song of someone lifted out of the pit and set on solid ground.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Read again the part of the story that stayed with you this week.

The cross is worth returning to slowly. There is no rush through it.

Lies we sometimes believe
“You are stuck where you are for good.”
What God actually says
“He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.”
Psalm 40:2
To think about, or write down
  • Looking back over the week — what did the cross cost, and what does that tell you about your worth to God?
  • The pit and the rock: where have you known one, and where do you long for the other?
  • If you told someone one thing about why Jesus died, what would it be?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that God lifts us out of the pit and sets our feet on solid rock — that no one is stuck forever with Him (Psalm 40). Then, in your own words, ask Him to set your feet on firmer ground.

Week One — worth thinking about

Your reflection

Take some time to look back over the week’s journey — what has stood out, or been meaningful to you? Note anything here, including any questions you would still like God to answer.

Foundations  ·  Block Two  ·  Week Two

The tomb is empty

The cross is not the end. This week is about the morning everything changed — the stone rolled away, the risen Jesus meeting frightened, grieving, doubting people one by one, and calling them forward into a life they thought was over.

This week’s themeJesus is alive — which changes everything about what is possible.
This week’s Psalm
Psalm 16

A song of confidence that God will not abandon His faithful one to the grave — quoted by the first Christians as pointing straight to the resurrection.

The verse to carry this week
“You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.”
Psalm 16:11

Write it down — the words and the reference — and put it where you will see it: on the fridge, the bathroom mirror, or the back of the door, so it catches your eye through the week.

Day 1

The stone rolled away

The Story
Matthew 28:1–10 — 10 verses

Women come to the tomb at dawn to tend a body and find the stone rolled back and an angel sitting on it. ‘He is not here; He has risen.’ Then Jesus Himself meets them on the road, and their first task is to go and tell the others.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Matthew 28:11–15

The guards are paid to lie about what happened. Even at the start, some chose the cover story over the truth in front of them.

Lies we sometimes believe
“Death and endings always get the last word.”
What God actually says
“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
1 Corinthians 15:55
To think about, or write down
  • The women expected a corpse and found a risen Lord. Where have you settled for an ending God means to overturn?
  • The first witnesses were sent to tell others. Who might need to hear the thing you are learning?
  • If Jesus really rose, what does that make possible that felt impossible yesterday?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus rose — that death does not get the last word and endings are not always final with God (1 Corinthians 15). Then, in your own words, bring Him a place where you have given up hope.
Day 2

Mary in the garden

The Story
John 20:11–18 — 8 verses

Mary stands weeping outside the empty tomb, thinking someone has taken the body. She does not recognise Jesus until He says one word — her name. Grief turned to joy in the space of a single word, spoken by someone who knew exactly who she was.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
John 20:1–10

How the morning began — the run to the tomb, the grave clothes folded, and how slow even the closest friends were to believe.

Lies we sometimes believe
“God has forgotten you in your grief.”
What God actually says
“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
To think about, or write down
  • Jesus met Mary in her tears before she understood anything. Where do you need to be met in yours?
  • He called her by name, and everything changed. What would it be to hear Him say yours?
  • Her grief was real and then it was answered. Can both be true of your situation?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that God is close to the brokenhearted and meets us in our grief — that He knows your name (Psalm 34). Then, in your own words, tell Him where you are grieving.
Day 3

The long walk to Emmaus

The Story
Luke 24:13–27 — 15 verses

Two disciples walk home defeated, sure it is all over. A stranger joins them and asks why they are so sad. It is Jesus, though they do not know it yet, and He walks the whole road with them, explaining how the whole story always pointed here.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Luke 24:28–35

They finally recognise Him when He breaks bread at the table — and in that instant He is gone. ‘Were not our hearts burning within us?’

Lies we sometimes believe
“You are walking through this alone.”
What God actually says
“And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20
To think about, or write down
  • Jesus walked with them before they knew it was Him. Where might He have been walking with you unrecognised?
  • They were sure the story was over; it had barely begun. Where have you called something finished too soon?
  • Their hearts burned as He spoke. When has Scripture or prayer done that for you?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus walks the road with us even when we cannot see Him — that He is with us to the very end (Matthew 28). Then, in your own words, ask Him to open your eyes to where He already is.
Day 4

For the one who doubted

The Story
John 20:24–29 — 6 verses

Thomas missed it the first time and refuses to believe on anyone’s word — he wants to see the wounds himself. A week later Jesus comes back, just for him, and offers His hands. He does not scold the doubt; He meets it.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
John 20:19–23

The first time Jesus appears to the group, His first word to the terrified, guilty disciples who had run away is simply: ‘Peace be with you.’

Lies we sometimes believe
“Your doubts put you beyond God’s reach.”
What God actually says
“He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands… Stop doubting and believe.””
John 20:27
To think about, or write down
  • Jesus came back especially for the one who doubted. What does that tell you about how God treats honest doubt?
  • Thomas needed to see for himself, and Jesus let him. What do you need to bring honestly to God?
  • Doubt was not the end of Thomas’s faith — it was part of the road to it. Does that free you at all?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus meets honest doubt with patience, not rejection — that questions do not put you beyond His reach (John 20). Then, in your own words, bring Him the doubts you actually have.
Day 5

Breakfast, and a second chance

The Story
John 21:9–17 — 9 verses

Peter had denied Jesus three times. Now the risen Jesus has breakfast waiting on the beach, and asks him one question three times: do you love Me? Not to shame him — to give him back, one by one, each denial replaced with love, and a job to do.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
John 21:1–8

How the morning began — Peter back at his old fishing, empty nets, and a voice from the shore that changed the catch and the day.

Lies we sometimes believe
“You have failed too badly to be used.”
What God actually says
““Simon son of John, do you love Me?”… “Feed My sheep.””
John 21:17
To think about, or write down
  • Three denials, three questions, three restorings. Does God settle scores the way you fear, or heal them?
  • Jesus gave Peter work to do after his worst failure. What might God still be calling you to?
  • The breakfast was made before the conversation. How does it feel that grace came first?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus restores those who have failed and still calls them to serve — that failure is not the end with Him (John 21). Then, in your own words, let Him ask you the question He asked Peter.
Day 6

Sent out

The Story
Matthew 28:16–20 — 5 verses

The risen Jesus gives His friends their mission: go, and make disciples, and know that I am with you always. Ordinary, failing people — the ones who ran away — are trusted with the best news in the world. And they are not sent alone.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Acts 1:6–11

Jesus returns to the Father, with a promise: the Spirit is coming, and you will be given power. The story does not stop here — it opens out.

Lies we sometimes believe
“You have nothing worth giving to anyone.”
What God actually says
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses… to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
To think about, or write down
  • Jesus trusted the ones who had let Him down with His whole mission. What might He trust you with?
  • ‘I am with you always.’ How does being sent with Him differ from being sent alone?
  • The good news travels person to person. Who first passed it to you — and who might you pass it to?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that Jesus sends ordinary, failing people with good news and never sends them alone — that He is with you always (Matthew 28). Then, in your own words, ask Him what He is sending you to do.
Day 7

Catch up, or sit still

The Story
Psalm 16

Read the Psalm slowly, or return to any day you missed. It ends on the line that the first Christians saw as a promise of resurrection.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Sit with the last verse on its own for a minute.

‘You have made known to me the path of life.’ That path runs straight through an empty tomb.

Lies we sometimes believe
“There is no real future for you.”
What God actually says
“You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.”
Psalm 16:11
To think about, or write down
  • The resurrection says the future is open. What future had you stopped believing was possible?
  • Which resurrection meeting this week felt most like your own story — Mary, the doubters, Peter?
  • If Jesus is truly alive, what is one thing that changes for you this week?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that in the risen Jesus there is a path of life and a real future — joy in His presence that does not run out (Psalm 16). Then, in your own words, ask Him to lead you onto that path.

Week Two — worth thinking about

Your reflection

Take some time to look back over the week’s journey — what has stood out, or been meaningful to you? Note anything here, including any questions you would still like God to answer.

Foundations  ·  Block Two  ·  Week Three

Nothing can separate us

The cross and the empty tomb lead somewhere: a love you cannot fall out of. This week is about grace as a gift you could never earn and cannot lose — the settled, unshakeable security of belonging to God because of what Jesus has done, not what you manage.

This week’s themeBecause of Jesus, nothing can separate you from God’s love.
This week’s Psalm
Psalm 103

A song about a God who forgives, heals, and does not treat us as our sins deserve. Read a few verses at a time and let it sink in.

The verse to carry this week
“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
Psalm 103:12

Write it down — the words and the reference — and put it where you will see it: on the fridge, the bathroom mirror, or the back of the door, so it catches your eye through the week.

Day 1

No condemnation

The Story
Romans 8:1–11 — 11 verses

Paul opens with the sentence the whole gospel has been building toward: there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Not less condemnation — none. The verdict on you has already been decided, and it is not guilty.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Romans 7:15–25

Just before, Paul describes the exhausting battle of doing the very thing he hates. Anyone who has tried and failed to change will recognise it — and will need what chapter 8 says next.

Lies we sometimes believe
“God is still holding your record against you.”
What God actually says
“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Romans 8:1
To think about, or write down
  • ‘No condemnation’ — none at all. What would change if you truly believed the verdict on you was settled?
  • Paul knew the misery of trying and failing. Where do you feel that battle most?
  • The good news is not that you tried harder, but that Jesus finished it. How does that land?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that in Christ there is no condemnation — that the verdict is settled and the record is cleared (Romans 8). Then, in your own words, hand Him the guilt you have been carrying.
Day 2

Nothing can separate us

The Story
Romans 8:31–39 — 9 verses

The high point of the whole letter: if God is for us, who can be against us? Paul lists every terror he can think of — trouble, danger, death, the future — and says none of it, nothing in all creation, can separate you from the love of God in Christ.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Romans 8:26–30

Even when you cannot find words to pray, the Spirit prays for you with groans too deep for words. You are held even in your speechless moments.

Lies we sometimes believe
“Sooner or later God will give up on you.”
What God actually says
“Neither death nor life… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38–39
To think about, or write down
  • Paul lists the worst things imaginable and says none can separate you from God. Which one were you most afraid could?
  • This love depends on God holding you, not you holding on. How does that change your grip?
  • ‘If God is for us…’ — do you picture God as for you, or against you? Why?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that nothing in all creation can separate you from God’s love in Christ — that His hold on you does not slip (Romans 8). Then, in your own words, name the thing you feared could separate you, and hand it over.
Day 3

As far as the east is from the west

The Story
Psalm 103:1–14 — 14 verses

David lists what God is like: He forgives all your sins, heals, redeems, crowns you with love. He does not treat us as our sins deserve, and He removes our wrongdoing as far as the east is from the west — a distance that never closes.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Psalm 103:15–22

Our lives are as brief as grass, but God’s love is from everlasting to everlasting. The short and the eternal, held together.

Lies we sometimes believe
“Your past will always define you.”
What God actually says
“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
Psalm 103:12
To think about, or write down
  • East from west never meet. What does it mean that this is how far God has removed your past?
  • God ‘does not treat us as our sins deserve.’ Where have you been braced for punishment that is not coming?
  • Which of the things God does in this Psalm — forgives, heals, redeems — do you most need today?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that God has removed your wrongdoing as far as the east is from the west and does not treat you as your sins deserve (Psalm 103). Then, in your own words, thank Him for a specific thing He has forgiven.
Day 4

A brand-new start

The Story
2 Corinthians 5:14–21 — 8 verses

If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation — the old is gone, the new has come. God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting our sins against us, and now makes His appeal through ordinary people: be reconciled to God.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Colossians 3:1–10

Because you have been raised with Christ, you can set your mind on things above and put the old self aside like worn-out clothing.

Lies we sometimes believe
“People never really change.”
What God actually says
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!”
2 Corinthians 5:17
To think about, or write down
  • ‘A new creation’ — not patched up, but new. What part of you longs to be made new rather than merely fixed?
  • God is ‘not counting our sins against us.’ What would you do differently if you truly believed the count was zero?
  • New clothes for old — what is one old thing you are ready to set aside?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that in Christ you are a new creation and God no longer counts your sins against you — that a real fresh start is possible (2 Corinthians 5). Then, in your own words, ask Him to make something new in you.
Day 5

Chosen before the world began

The Story
Ephesians 1:3–10 — 8 verses

Before the world was made, God chose you — to be adopted as His own child, accepted in Christ, lavished with grace. This was not an afterthought or a rescue plan improvised late. You were wanted from before the beginning.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Ephesians 1:11–14

The Holy Spirit is described as a deposit — a down payment guaranteeing everything God has promised is really coming.

Lies we sometimes believe
“You were never really wanted.”
What God actually says
“For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence.”
Ephesians 1:4
To think about, or write down
  • Chosen before the world began — not an accident, not an afterthought. What does it do to you to read that?
  • Adoption means being wanted on purpose, made family. Where have you felt like you did not belong?
  • God ‘lavished’ grace on you — not rationed it. Does your picture of Him match that word?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that God chose you before the world began and adopted you as His own — that you were wanted on purpose (Ephesians 1). Then, in your own words, thank Him that you belong to Him.
Day 6

Kept safe

The Story
John 10:27–30 — 4 verses

Jesus says His sheep hear His voice and follow, and He gives them eternal life — and no one can snatch them out of His hand. Your security does not rest on your grip on God, but on His grip on you, and His grip does not fail.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
1 Peter 1:3–9

You are being guarded by God’s power for an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade — kept safe for you, and you for it.

Lies we sometimes believe
“You could lose it all at any moment.”
What God actually says
“No one can snatch them out of My hand.”
John 10:28
To think about, or write down
  • Your safety rests on His grip, not yours. How does that change the fear of slipping?
  • An inheritance ‘kept’ for you — what does it mean to be expected, awaited, held?
  • Where do you live as though it could all be taken away, when Jesus says no one can snatch you out?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that no one can snatch you out of Jesus’ hand — that you are held by His grip, not your own (John 10). Then, in your own words, tell Him where you have been afraid of losing it all.
Day 7

Looking back over three weeks

The Story
Psalm 103

Read the Psalm slowly, or return to any day you missed. Let it be your own list of what God is like, and what He has done for you.

The Detail — when you have a bit longer
Look back across the whole block — the cross, the empty tomb, and this week.

Three weeks that run from Gethsemane to ‘nothing can separate us.’ That is the shape of the gospel.

Lies we sometimes believe
“None of this really applies to you.”
What God actually says
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds— He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases.”
Psalm 103:2–3
To think about, or write down
  • Across this block — the cost, the rising, the security — which truth is hardest for you to believe about yourself?
  • ‘Nothing can separate us.’ What would change this week if you lived as though that were settled?
  • If you told someone one thing from these three weeks, what would it be?
Prayer suggestionGive thanks that God forgives, heals, and holds you, and that nothing can separate you from His love — that all of this really is for you (Psalm 103). Then, in your own words, tell Him what you have found.

Week Three — worth thinking about

Your reflection

Take some time to look back over the week’s journey — what has stood out, or been meaningful to you? Note anything here, including any questions you would still like God to answer.

End of Block Two

You have finished Block Two

Three more weeks done. You have stood at the hardest and best part of the whole story, and stayed.
