God is relliable
Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone. ~ Psalm 33:22 (NLT)
Let’s hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, because the one who made the promises is reliable. ~ Hebrews 10:23 (CEB)
KEY THOUGHT:
Keep on trusting God for he is reliable.
PRAYER:
Lord, it is really discouraging to have so many unreliable and unfaithful people in positions of leadership. I'm sure that has often been the case throughout history. But I'm having to deal with them now. And it pains me. I know that you are reliable but in the moment I get anxious for us. Help me to trust you. I want to be a witness to your faithfulness. Amen.
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2011 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
