PSALM 79:9 (MSG)
You’re famous for helping; God, give us a break.
Your reputation is on the line.
Pull us out of this mess, forgive us our sins—
do what you’re famous for doing!
1 JOHN 4:10 (MSG)
This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Rely on God -- always.
PRAYER
Your name is glorified, Lord God, when we ask you to be the Lord of our life. Oh, how I like to put you in my medicine cabinet and treat you like another medication. "Take when needed." But you are more than a prescription. You are the source of wellness, the Dr. of redemption. Heal my fickle faith. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
