“Christ is all and in all.” Colossians 3:11 (NRSV)

Right now our circumstances may be overwhelming, our life may feel pointless, we may be burdened with sickness, sin or sadness. We are hard pressed on every side, but in Christ we are not defeated. If we will accept His help today, we will have a Leader and a Guide who will meet all our needs. If we will, in faith, believe the words of our dear Jesus, ‘And remember, I am with you always to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20), we will experience His strength and comforting presence right now.

‘Christ is All.’ Take these words as our motto. May these words shape our prayers, strengthen our faith, and give us the assurance of His love and access to the Father. May they make us strong for the work He has appointed for us today. Yes, Christ, our Christ, is all that we need. May these words prompt us to abide in His love. May they give us the assurance that He dwells in our heart, so that we may “know the love of Christ that surpasses all understanding” (Ephesians 3:19). Allow these words to rest deeply in our heart so that they fill us with joy, with hope and with an eternal assurance that we are not alone, but loved by Christ beyond our knowing.

Today, Jesus would say to each of His children, ‘Do not worry and do not grow anxious. Rest quietly with me. I know what you need, what lays ahead and I will love you. Trust me as you allow me to be your all.’
