Devotional #2 - Day 4: Eat Some Bread
Opening Stillness
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
Exhale through your mouth.
Not everything requires force. Some things require softness.
Scripture (English Standard Version- ESV)
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28
Reflection
Sometimes the bone doesn’t come loose right away.
You’ve tried discernment.
You’ve tried release.
And still - something catches.
That’s when Daddy’s voice echoes back with quiet wisdom: “Eat some bread.”
Bread isn’t sharp.
It isn’t aggressive.
It doesn’t argue with the bone.
It simply moves things along.
In life, “bread” looks like grace.
Rest.
Routine.
Prayer that doesn’t demand answers.
Showing up for today without solving tomorrow.
We often think healing must be intense to be effective. But God frequently uses the ordinary - a steady rhythm, a safe space, a trusted voice - to do what striving never could.
Bread reminds us that God is not asking us to choke our way through life. When something gets stuck, He doesn’t shame us for it. He offers nourishment, not pressure.
Jesus called Himself the Bread of Life for a reason. He sustains. He softens. He strengthens - quietly.
You don’t always need a breakthrough. Sometimes you need breakfast.
Soul Question
What does “bread” look like for you in this season?
Prayer
God, thank You for meeting me in the ordinary. When I’m stuck, help me reach for what nourishes instead of forcing what hurts. Teach me to trust Your gentle ways. Amen.
Closing Invitation
Today, choose one simple nourishing act.
Do it slowly. Let God work in the quiet.
