Jesus said to [the devil] in reply, “It also says,
‘You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.‘” Luke 4:12

We have no need to test God. Even in dark times, God is with us. God doesn’t protect us from anything, but God sustains us in everything.

Today I will trust God is near me. I will trust God to sustain me as I do my best to embody nonviolence, peace, kindness, compassion, and welcome—even in the dark times.
