I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
the God who saves you.
LUKE 9:35-36 (CEV)
From the cloud a voice spoke, “This is my chosen Son. Listen to what he says!”
After the voice had spoken, Peter, John, and James saw only Jesus.

How has God spoken to you about Jesus?
PRAYER
Gracious God, your carefully executed plan came to an apex with the arrival of our Savior Jesus. We confess, though, that in spite of our admiration and public allegiance to him, we are not good listeners. We let our own personal agendas muffle his voice and at time drown him out altogther. Give us new ears to hear Jesus. I want to allow his life and message to change everything about me—as scarey as that is. 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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
