Feeling pain is a universal part of being human, and it's often in these moments we wonder if God really gets how much we hurt. Isaiah 53 paints a poignant picture of Jesus, a figure described as “despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.” These words were written centuries before Jesus's time, yet they capture the essence of His earthly journey so precisely.

Have you ever thought how cool it would be to have people cheering you on for just doing your job?

Have you ever felt like you've messed up too big for a second chance? You're not alone.

Have you ever played "Where's Waldo?"—scanning crowded pages to spot that guy in the striped shirt and glasses? Well, there's this town playing a real-life version, but it's "Find Mr. Bill" instead. Mr. Bill, a real person, walks five miles to work every day, not by choice, but because he's legally blind and can't drive. When a woman discovered why he was walking, she didn't just give him a ride; she went above and beyond. She created "Mr. Bill's Village" on Facebook, and suddenly, 1,500 people were offering lifts, turning it into a community-wide game of generosity.

Ever felt like your spiritual life is spinning that dreaded loading icon, just like a bogged-down computer? We've been there. Sometimes, everything seems to slow to a crawl, and what we really need is a spiritual reboot. Psalm 51:10 offers the perfect "restart prayer" for those moments. It's like hitting the refresh button on our hearts and spirits, asking God to cleanse us, renew us, and keep us close to Him.
