PSALM 65:8 (CEB)
You make the gateways
of morning and evening sing for joy.
LUKE 8:1 (CEB)
Jesus traveled through the cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news of God’s kingdom.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The good news can't be contained.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, you speak good news to all my bad news. You replace discouragement and disappointment with healing and hope. Instead of my feeble efforts, I invite your rule and reign into all my life circumstances. All-day I will sing songs of thanksgiving and joy for what you have done and will do. Amen. (Daily Texts, Groud 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.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
