Lead Me, O Lord
As the night begins, come and rest in God’s presence and listen for His guiding voice. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to bring your hesitations, questions, and resistance before Him, and to trust His direction for your life. Reflecting on Jonah 1:1–7, we are reminded how easy it is to resist God’s leading, choosing our own way instead. Yet even in our wandering, God’s grace pursues us, redirecting us with purpose and calling us back to His perfect plan. As you prepare to rest, let this meditation quiet your thoughts and open your heart. Trust that God’s ways are higher, His plans are good, and His voice will lead you into life and blessing.

Made Righteous
As the day draws to a close, rest in the assurance of what God has done for you. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to step away from striving and receive the righteousness that is given freely through Jesus Christ. Reflecting on Romans 3:10–12 and 3:21–24, we are reminded that none of us are righteous on our own—but through faith in Jesus, we are justified by grace and welcomed into God’s presence. The gates are opened, not by our effort, but by His mercy. As you settle into the quiet of the night, let this meditation lift any burden of guilt or inadequacy. You are invited to come just as you are, clothed in Christ’s righteousness, and held securely in His grace. Tonight’s meditation is read by Andrew. Meet the team at odb.org/meet-the-team.
