FORGIVEN
JEREMIAH 31:34 (MSG)
I’ll wipe the slate clean for each of them. I’ll forget they ever sinned!
ACTS 10:43 (CEV)
Every one of the prophets has said that all who have faith in Jesus will have their sins forgiven in his name.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is really into forgiveness.
PRAYER
Savior Jesus, thank you for giving me salvation through believing in your name. I am sorry that my outward actions don't match what you do within me. You have forgiven me over and over again. You don't remember my sin. Encourage me to witness to what you are doing for me. May I forgive others over and over again. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2015 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
