You said it: This week Tracey shared on the “Power to Know the Love of God” devotional, saying “It seems no matter where we are in our lives or where we are in our walk with Jesus – our path becomes clouded or filled with fog.

The devil has thrown many-many-many obstacles in my path and has now resorted to attacking not only me personally and physically but now my family as well.

As always He broke through: using the people around me and this devotional.” Join the conversation on the daily men’s devotional and women’s devotional!
