Sometimes life’s failures and hardships make us wonder if God still loves us. In tonight's evening prayer and devotional, Clarence Haynes reminds us that nothing—not our struggles, doubts, or brokenness—can separate us from His love.

He shares the unforgettable story of sprinter Derek Redmond at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, who tore his hamstring mid-race. Limping toward the finish line, he was joined by his father, Jim, who pushed past security to carry him forward. That father’s love gives us a glimpse of God’s love for us.

God doesn’t wait at the finish line. He runs to us in the middle of our brokenness, carrying us when we can’t take another step. His love isn’t dependent on performance or circumstances—it is constant, eternal, and unstoppable.

So when you feel like you’ve blown it, remember: the cross, not your circumstances, is the proof of God’s love.

📖 Tonight’s Scripture: Romans 8:39

"Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."



🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

Lord,
Remind me of Your great love when I forget. When I stumble or fail, help me rest in the truth that nothing can separate me from You. Teach me to embrace Your love, not as something earned, but as a gift rooted in Your character. Tonight, I lay down my doubts and unfinished race, trusting that You will walk with me every step of the way.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon


The circumstances of life are not evidence of God’s love; the cross is.


God’s love does not guarantee an easy life, but it promises His presence in every trial.


His love does not abandon you in difficult moments—it carries you through them.
