It’s easy to lean on Jesus when life is hard, but what about when things get easier? Here’s why keeping your eyes fixed on Christ in every season matters more than you might think. Keri Eichberger’s daily prayer and devotional remind us that both hardship and ease offer moments to grow closer to Jesus. While trials often deepen our dependence on Him, seasons of calm can tempt us to rely on ourselves. This devotional challenges us to guard our spiritual gaze—keeping it fixed on Christ, the true source of light, joy, and fulfillment.
Today's Prayer Leans on This Bible Verse: 📖 John 8:12 – “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
