CANCELING DARKNESS

PSALM 103:6 (NET)
The LORD does what is fair,
and executes justice for all the oppressed.


JOHN 12:46 (NLT)
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is onsite and is in the process of canceling the darkness that currently characterizes our world.

PRAYER
God of justice, you desire grace and abundance for all people. I am sorry for the ways that I contribute to the oppression of others. Open my eyes and draw me into the light of your love. Place me on the side of the poor and the marginalized, loving them as Christ loves them, as Christ loves me. 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.
