Open by taking 2-3 minutes to pray and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.

**Read John 9:1-41**. Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.

After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

**Often we view our pain simply through the difficulty of our experience. What pain or struggle in your life has God redeemed for a purpose greater than you imagined? Or what current pain could He redeem?**

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
2. Talk to God about the pain you are currently experiencing and ask Him to show you His purpose in it.
3. Talk to God about the ways He has already redeemed painful situations in your life.
4. Talk to God about your willingness to trust Him even in difficult seasons.
5. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
