Rescue requests

The 23rd Sunday after Pentecost

Finally, they cried out to the Lord for help, saying, "We have sinned against you because we have abandoned you as our God..." ~ Judges 10:10 (NLT)


He rescued us from the control of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. He set us free through the Son and forgave our sins. ~ Colossians 1:13-14 (CEB)

KEY IDEA:
God responds to our rescue requests.
PRAYER:
Thank you, God, for being so responsive to our need for rescue. I am especially grateful that you sent Jesus into the world to set us free from the forces of darkness. I confess that I am slow to ask for help and I'm not as responsive to you as I should be. Help me to live fully according to the unique freedom that rolls in with your kingdom agenda. I'm going to live! Amen.
