After I’ve poured my Spirit on Israel, filled them with my life, I’ll no longer turn away. I’ll look them full in the face. Decree of GOD, the Master.
ROMANS 8:16 (MSG)

PRAYER
You've invaded me, Lord, and I am so thankful. Without you, I would be so lost, but you kindly grasp onto me. I want to pray more and listen to what you say. You have placed yourself right where I can hear you, your Spirit given in baptism. You're not letting go, and I am most blessed. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

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.
