ISAIAH 51:7 (CEV)
Don’t be discouraged
when others insult you
and say hurtful things.
Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Stay the course so that you can claim the benefits that accompany faith.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your immeasurable gift of eternal life and for granting me faith to fight for your truth. Have mercy on me when I turn from battles that frighten me. Rescue me from mockery that causes me to doubt my decision to follow you. Teach me to live as a witness to your goodness and mercy. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
