Don’t be afraid—you’re not going to be embarrassed.
MATTHEW 28:5-6 (CEB)
But the angel said to the women, "Don’t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He isn’t here, because he’s been raised from the dead..."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Don't let fear drive your life—or even this moment.
DAILY FODDER
Which is more fear inducing to you, things known or things unknown? Does it make any difference when God is present?
PRAYER
Lord, forgive me for my fear-based focus in life. I picture panic when actually angels are dancing with joy. Take my hand and lead me away from my glass-half-empty attitude. Especially in the shambles of life, I want to see Jesus today and dance with him. 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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
