Our good place
You've found your safe place by setting up house with the High God. ~ Psalm 91:9 (ABP)
With that kind of hope to excite us, nothing holds us back. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:12 (MSG)
SUMMARY SENTENCE We're in a good place with God.
PRAYER Holy God, when I am mindful of your presence, I am so strong and confident. I could easily surrender my life and treasure. Alas, I confess I am mostly aware of myself and all that concerns me. Teach me to hope in your infinite grace, and to act wih your infinite love, in Jesus' name. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
