Lord, you know how easy it is for me to become discouraged. Teach me to notice the pictures of restoration that are evident around me, including the budding leaves after a harsh winter or the rebuilding of a neighborhood and garden after a storm. All these things point to the cross and empty tomb, which brought eternal life and the promise of a renewed creation. May I rest in this promise tonight. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
