Stand firm

The king was relieved to hear Daniel’s voice, and he gave orders for him to be taken out of the pit. Daniel’s faith in his God had kept him from being harmed. ~ Daniel 6:23 (CEV)

Keep alert. Be firm in your faith. Stay brave and strong. ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13 (CEV)

SUMMARY SENTENCE:

Stick with your godly convictions and you will be okay.

PRAYER:

Thank you, God, for all the ways you rescue your people. Help me to be brave and strong. Save me from my tendency to fixate on all the worst case scenarios. For now I know that because of Christ, even if I die that's not the worst thing -- that it is even a part of your new life plan. I know that there is no end to your rescue. Amen.
