ISAIAH 64:9 (MSG)
Don’t keep a permanent account of wrongdoing.
Keep in mind, please, we are your people—all of us.
1 JOHN 2:1 (ABP)
My dear children, I am writing all this to help you stay away from sin. But if you do sin, Jesus Christ, who is qualified to represent you because he always does the right thing -- Jesus will intervene, speaking to the Father on your behalf.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Stop worrying about your failures because Jesus intervenes for sinful people.
PRAYER
God, you (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are totally righteous. We, on the other hand, through what we do and what we fail to do, are bunglers in the righteousness department. Show me how to take my sinfulness seriously without fixating on this problem. I'm going to confidently move forward because I trust that you have everything under control. Amen.
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 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
