PSALM 30:5 (ABP)
While God's anger lasts but a fleeting second, his love and kindness last a lifetime. You may weep for a night but rest assured that joy comes with the dawn.
ROMANS 5:11 (NLT)
So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's relationship with us is our cause for celebration.
PRAYER
Loving God, it's mind-boggling that you would want to be friends with us. We let you down a lot and yet you persist in reaching out to us. I'm a flake but you are faithful. I pray that your kindness will change me so that I'm a better friend to you -- and everyone else. Because of what Christ has done I'm going to live as your friend. 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.
