You people are stubborn
and far from being safe,
so listen to me.
I will soon come to save you.
I am not far away
and will waste no time...
ROMANS 10:10 (CEB)
Trusting with the heart leads to righteousness, and confessing with the mouth leads to salvation.

PRAYER
Faithful Father, thank you for Jesus whom you brought near to all. He is never far away! He came as Emmanuel, so we could know he is with us. Forgive me when I run or hide. Grow my heart today to believe more than yesterday. May your word always be on my lips, ready to proclaim the gospel of grace. 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 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.
