We all know that being a Christian and putting our trust in God doesn’t shield or exempt us from the pains of this life.

Many mornings, I hit snooze one too many times and, since I’m then rushed for time, my devotions are the thing that gets skipped. If I’m not doing my devotions daily and studying God’s Word to better know Him, what am I missing out on in terms of worthiness and relationship with God?
