Do people fall down and not get up?
Or take the wrong road and then just keep going?
LUKE 17:5 (MSG)
The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
If you want to develop your faith you need to be willing to change direction.
DAILY FODDER
Why is it so hard to change direction in life — even when we now that we'd benefit from doing so?
PRAYER
Thank you, Jesus, for establishing the new life into which you have invited us. I confess, though, that I struggle to leave some of the old things behind — my desires, my opinions, my habits... So, I am asking that you'd improve my faith (I certainly can't do it on my own.) and guide me away from that which I need to leave behind. I'm going to trust you to reorient my life. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
