Jesus Bears Our Griefs

Open by taking 2-3 minutes to pray and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.    

Read Isaiah 53. Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  

After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.  

What does it mean to you that Jesus bore your griefs and carried your sorrows?  

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).    
2. Talk to God about the areas of brokenness in your life and ask Him for healing.  
3. Talk to God about the weight of your sin and thank Him for bearing it on the cross.  
4. Talk to God about how His sacrifice brings you peace and healing.  
5. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
