Trustworthy
My God... You do such wonderful things!
You planned them long ago,
and now you have accomplished them. ~ Isaiah 25:1b (NLT)
We must hold tightly to the hope that we say is ours. After all, we can trust the one who made the agreement with us. ~ Hebrews 10:23 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
God is trustworthy.
PRAYER:
My God, I'm thankful that you are so trustworthy. You never forget a promise. I sometimes get anxious about the way things are going. But that's not your fault. It is because I'm not as trusting as I should be. Continue to build my trust so that as I mature I will be better able to lean on you. I'm going to be a witness of your faithfulness. 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
