Evening: Psalms 42, 43; Haggai 2:1-9; Luke 22:31-38
Simon Peter takes offence when Jesus says to him: “Once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” Jesus predicts that Peter will turn away. And yet, he still wants Peter - in fact, Jesus relies on people who have not always done well. His disciples all turn away in fear, but later the Spirit gives them strength to devote their lives to him. There are natural ups and downs in a life of faith. To understand those who do not know faith, it helps if your own faith has been tested, or if you yourself have failed in some way.
