HEBREWS 2:8 (CEV)
God has put everything under our power and has not left anything out of our power. But we still don't see it all under our control.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We continue to trust God even when the miserable things happening at the moment don't make much sense.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your light that continues to shine. You are present even in the most bitter moments. I don't always understand your purposes, but I rejoice that you have a purpose. No misery can change your love for me. I cry out for your presence today. Keep me subject to your will and to my neighbor's need. 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.
