Words of Hope Weekday Devotions
Wednesday, June 25, 2025
The devotion for today, Wednesday, June 25, 2025 was written by Donald (Luke) Day and is narrated by Judithann Anderson.
Today’s Words of Inspiration come from John 11.32-35
When Mary [of Bethany] reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” she replied.
Jesus wept.
Centering Prayer: Lord God, quiet my thoughts and open my spirit to receive your words into my soul. May they find rich opportunity to grow and nourish my spiritual journey with you. Amen.
