Why This Matters

David prayed 'Into your hands I commit my spirit' as a cry of trust in the midst of suffering. Jesus made these words his final breath on the cross. In his darkest hour, he did not curse or despair—he entrusted himself to his Father. The psalm of trust became the Savior's last prayer, turning death itself into an act of faith.

Reflection

Lord Jesus, Your suffering was not wasted. As I read Psalm 31:5 and Luke 23:46, make me reverent before the cost of my redemption.
