Today we rest with Jesus in the shelter of His presence, trusting His peace to hold us through every storm.
Beginning with Luke 8 and moving through Psalm 28, Matthew 6, Psalm 27, and John 14, this devotional journey leads from fear and uncertainty toward prayer, courage, and abiding peace.
On August 7, we remember Saint Cajetan, who served the sick and poor, founded the Theatines, and escaped to Venice after the 1527 Sack of Rome; his faithful endurance through upheaval reminds all Christians to trust Jesus amid life’s storms.
