September 28, 2025 SCRIPTURE REFLECTION EXERCISE Use w/ daily reading or Scripture of your choice

We've put together 31 Scripture Reflection Exercises to give you a different way to go just a little deeper with the Word each day. This can be done in 5 minutes ... or feel free to go deeper. (We hope you will!) Use it with the Scripture readings we post each day ... or choose a different Scripture to read. These are appropriate for ALL Christians, Protestant or Catholic ... and even people who aren't Christians, but are reading the Bible and just want to get more from it. God bless you! We appreciate your prayers, both with us and for us. +++ SufferingWell: Through the Cross, Not Around It ~ We believe your suffering and ours is very valuable. Jesus told us to take up our crosses and follow Him. He made it clear that our lives as Christians would be full of suffering. In other words, your suffering isn't a strange anomaly: It's actually part of your walk as a Christ-follower. Hence, our tagline: Through the Cross, Not Around It. Understanding how to give your suffering to God can make it so much more worthwhile ... and sometimes, you will actually find joy in it! The more we trust God and submit ourselves to Him, the better we can become at offering up our suffering to Him to use. It's easier to submit to God if we fully trust Him! And even more important, the more we trust God, the more we will trust Him in the suffering and see how it works for our good and the good of others and how it glorifies Him. Our desire is to help Christians learn to trust God in their suffering, to unite their suffering with Christ, and to offer it to God to use for the souls in purgatory, for those who suffer or need to know Christ, and for our world. We offer courses to support this and to encourage others in this practice. We are a Catholic Ministry, but much of what we offer is appropriate for Protestants as well. If you're Protestant, look especially for things that say "HOW Initiative" on them. HOW is Heal Our World.
