In God we’ll do our very best;
he’ll flatten the opposition for good.
ROMANS 12:1 (MSG)
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through our connection with Christ we can live into our full potential.
DAILY FODDER
If we can be all we're meant to be through Christ, what gets in the way of that?
PRAYER
Creator of all, you imaginatively formed humanity to be a reflection of your goodness and grace. I regret that I am often a poor reflection of your holiness. Help me, Lord, to be a living sacrifice to you and others. May your presence guide my days and ways as I offer my life to 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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
