GOD, have mercy on your people! Don't let these people, in whom you have invested so heavily over the generations, become the world's laughingstock.
TITUS 2:14 (ABP)
Our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, gave himself as a sacrifice to rescue us from all things evil. He purifies us to be 100% his own and totally into doing good.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through Christ, we are rescued from all things bad to do all things good.
DAILY FODDER
If we're not totally rid of all the bad junk in our lives does that mean that Christ's rescue mission has been ineffective?
PRAYER
Great God and Savior, you gave up your life so that we might enter into new lives characterized by your goodness. Even though I see improvement, I admit that I'm not totally there, yet. The old defeated junk surfaces and tries to get re-established. Help me to stay the course and to focus on all that you consider good. By your grace, I'm going to be 100% yours today. 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!
