Awesome!
Our Lord is great and very powerful. There is no limit to what he knows. ~ Psalm 147:5 (NCV)
We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. They are the people he called, because that was his plan. ~ Romans 8:28 (NCV)
Great God, you know everything and you are very powerful. I'm glad that you use your knowledge and power on behalf of your people. I admit that I am not the most faithful friend to you. But you are still doing things to make my life better -- just as you do for all your people. You even use the bad stuff that happens -- turning it around for good. I love you Lord. You are awesome! Amen!
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2015 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul. The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
