NEHEMIAH 9:33 (CEB)
You have been just in all that has happened to us;
you have acted faithfully, and we have done wrong.
1 JOHN 1:9 (MSG)
If we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Things go better for us when we avoid denying our wrongdoing because God is faithful in spite of our sin.
PRAYER
Gracious God, you have always been more than fair. Yet, even knowing this, we are quick to cover-up and deny our sin. Help me to be more open, matter-of-fact, and honest. I'm going to live according to your forgiveness and gracious manner. 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.
