You have been a place of safety
for the poor and needy
in times of trouble.
Brutal enemies pounded us
like a heavy rain
or the heat of the sun at noon,
but you were our shelter.
~ Isaiah 25:4 (CEV)
These are the words of the one who is the first and the last, who died and came back to life: I know your hardship and poverty... Revelation 2:8-9 (CEB)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God understands and responds to our hardships.
PRAYER
Gracious God, you understand what I'm going through. Help me to trust you with my problems. I'm so eager to get everything fixed that I get ahead of you and start doing things my own way. But I know that you have experienced it all. Through Christ Jesus, you have defeated death itself. So I know that you are on task to defeat the vestiges of evil that I'm facing. Amen.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
