*Our high priest is able to understand our weaknesses* (Hebrews 4:15). Because Jesus is fully human, we can draw near to him. Because he is fully divine, we can worship him. **I will draw near to God with confidence that he hears me and understands me.**
*Jesus is at the right hand of God, interceding for us* (Romans 8:34). When Jesus calmed the storm, he showed us that we can count on his presence and his prayers for us in the midst of our storms. **I will take heart because Jesus is speaking up for me.**
*Death has been swallowed up in victory* (I Corinthians 15:54). The resurrection changed *everything*. This is our hope for tomorrow, but it can bring strength to us today. Our finest moment will be our final moment! **I will entrust my death to the Lord of life.**
*Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning* (Psalm 30:5). Troubles come to each of us in life. But as Mary Magdalene discovered, sorrow may have the night, but it cannot have our lives. **I will praise God before my prayer is answered.**
