Rescue
God, you know my foolishness;
my wrongdoings aren’t hidden from you. ~ Psalm 69:5 (CEB)
Rescue us from the evil one. ~ Matthew 6:13b (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
God rescues people from sin and the evil source of all our wrongdoing.
PRAYER:
Lord, this week we are especially mindful of the sacrifice that saves us from the hand of the evil one. Thank you. As we acknowledge you as Savior help us to leave all sin behind and to follow you as Lord. I am going to live for you. Amen.
