You must defend my innocence, O God,
since no one else will stand up for me.
ROMANS 8:34 (MSG)
Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
With Christ on your side, your accusers don't stand a chance.
DAILY FODDER
Who accuses you?
PRAYER
Merciful God, thank you that Christ Jesus is our advocate—the perfect and most qualified advocate. I confess that I'm my own worst accuser. I resurrect guilt that needs to be left buried. Renew my confidence in what Christ has done and is doing on my behalf. I'm going to live guilt-free because I'm trusting my defense to Jesus. 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!
