Today's Verse - John 6:66 (KJV)

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

—John 6:66 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

This verse haunts me. Many folks gave up following Jesus when things became hard for them to understand, or he said things they did not think were possible. When he shattered their preconceived notions of religious things or confronted them about their motives, they left and gave up following him. What will I do when things get difficult in my discipleship and I can't figure out all the answers to what is going on? I hope, pray, and trust that I will follow until the way and the will of the LORD become clearer!

My Prayer...​

Awesome God, I confess openly that I cannot begin to understand all the complexities of your will and how you work in our world. But Father, when I'm confused, please bring people into my life who will help me hang on to my faith until the confusion passes. And today, dear LORD, please use me to help bless people struggling with their faith. In Jesus' name, I ask it. Amen.

I will never ever leave Jesus behind me or forget about Him. Those who do, they are heading straight to hell's burning fire.

 

[Petersen]

It is really sad to see people leaving church and Jesus and never come again. Some marry an unbeliever and they leave us for good. O Lord, save them and bring them back again to Yourself. Amen

 

[Taeweth]

Amen so true I'm really struggling and sometimes I even feel a bit vex at God but I will never deny Him or His wonderful life giving Son, Jesus. If the persecuted church in ### and ### etc can soldier on through their much worse times so can we.
