Answer me, God; O answer me and reveal to this people that you are God, the true God, and that you are giving these people another chance at repentance.”
LUKE 22:32 (MSG)
Simon, I’ve prayed for you in particular that you not give in or give out. When you have come through the time of testing, turn to your companions and give them a fresh start.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Pray for repentence.
DAILY FODDER
God seems eager for his people to experience fresh starts. Are you more eager to see people judged for their sins or to see them turn to God and get a fresh start?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for inviting us to turn from sin to you and your ways. I confess that there are people I'd rather see burning in hell than experiencing fresh starts. Help me to turn from this self-focused narrow mindedness to your perspective. I'm praying for changes of heart and action. 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 in heaven.
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!
