As the day comes to a close, reflect on what it means to truly follow Jesus. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to consider the cost of discipleship and the freedom that comes through surrender. Reflecting on Matthew 19:16–22, we are reminded that the things we hold onto can sometimes keep us from the peace we long for. Yet Jesus offers something greater—freedom, purpose, and life in Him. As you settle into the quiet of the night, bring your attachments honestly before God. In letting go, you may discover a deeper peace than you’ve ever known.

What is Our Daily Bread Evening Meditations?
When the noise of the day fades and your heart still feels restless, these evening meditations invite you to slow down and rest in the peaceful presence of God. Through short Scripture readings, thoughtful reflection, and guided prayer, find assurance that the Lord sees you, loves you, watches over you through the night, and holds tomorrow in His hands.
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” — Psalm 4:8
