We Have All Sinned
Read: Isaiah 64 We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. (v. 6) Friends, please give up as fast

Do you ever feel the weight of trying to fix your life on your own—only to realize it’s never enough?
Many of us carry a quiet burden: the pressure to be good enough, to make things right, to prove we belong. But deep down, we know something is broken. Scripture speaks honestly about this reality—we all fall short, and no amount of effort can fully restore what sin has damaged.
This devotional reading plan invites you to stop striving and start trusting. This plan was written by a pastor in Albania, a country where Christian faith was almost completely stamped out by communism. Rev. Dogani directs us to the heart of the gospel: that Jesus came not for the strong, but for the weak; not for the righteous, but for sinners. He lived, died, and rose again to do what we could never do for ourselves—make a way back to God.
Each day explores what it means to place your trust in Jesus. You’ll reflect on your need for grace, the reality of judgment, the gift of forgiveness, and the promise of new life. You’ll see how Jesus removes the barrier between you and God, pays your debt, and calls you into a relationship marked by peace, freedom, and hope.
Trusting Jesus isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about placing your life in his hands.
If you’re weary of striving or unsure where you stand with God, this series is an invitation: come, believe, and rest in the one who saves.

Gentian Dogani is a pastor of two small churches in two different small towns in the southern part of Albania. He is married to Nikoleta, and they live in the town of Memaliaj. Since his conversion, Gentian’s desire has been to reach people and preach the good news of the gospel, “for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Rom. 1:16).
