GOD'S FAITHFULNESS

JEREMIAH 14:21 (MSG)
Remember your covenant. Don’t break faith with us!

1 CORINTHIANS 1:9 (CEB)
God is faithful, and you were called by him to partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Since God is so trustworthy and reliable a partnership with him makes great sense!

DAILY FODDER
How have you experienced God's faithfulness in your life? Is it related to health? Work? Calling and purpose? Friendship? Peace? Financial provision?

PRAYER
Father, thank-you for your faithfulness to me. You are who you say you are, and you do what you say you will do. As a perfect heavenly father, I can trust you completely with my life. You love me and always want what is best for me. Thank you for calling me and all people unto you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
Give us enough food for today.
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!

*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS

The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2015 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul.

The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
