Today’s Reading:
Romans 7:14–25 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.”
(Romans 7:18)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Readings in Romans — Dead to Sin, Alive Through Christ

A Thought for Today

Struggling does not mean you have stopped caring about what is right.

What This Means for Us Today

Paul describes the frustrating gap between wanting to do good and still falling short.

It is a struggle many of us recognise.

We do not need to hide that struggle from God.
Our hope is not in becoming perfect by ourselves, but in Jesus Christ who meets us with grace.

Carry This With You

Keep turning to Christ, even in the struggle.

A Simple Prayer

Lord Jesus, meet me in the places where I struggle.
Give me grace to keep choosing what is good.

Today’s Invitation

Do not let one failure define your day.
Turn back to Christ and begin again.
