My Spirit will give you breath, and you will live again. I will bring you home, and you will know that I have kept my promise. I, the LORD, have spoken.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:17 (CEV)
The Lord and the Spirit are one and the same, and the Lord's Spirit sets us free.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's Spirit sets us free from everything that sucks life from us, restoring life in his people.
DAILY FODDER
What is sucking life out of you? Have you asked God to set you free from such things?
PRAYER
Holy Lord, thank you for placing your life-giving Spirit within me. I often mistake real freedom as living according to my own spirit. But then I am captive to myself. Come, Holy Spirit. Resettle my heart in the promised land of your forgiving presence. My true freedom comes only from being known by you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
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.
