Pentecost Sunday
PSALM 73:26 (CEV)
My body and mind may fail,
but you are my strength
and my choice forever.
ROMANS 8:23-24 (CEV)
The Spirit makes us sure about what we will be in the future. But now we groan silently, while we wait for God to show that we are his children. This means that our bodies will also be set free. And this hope is what saves us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even as our bodies fail, our hope is that God will not.
PRAYER
Come, Spirit, come. We are frustrated by the things going wrong in life -- the pain of a broken world, deteriorating bodies and minds, and worry over the future. Calm us down and refill us with hope so that we can move forward under your power. 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.
