When my skin sags and my bones get brittle,
God is rock-firm and faithful.
REVELATION 3:7-8 (MSG)
I see what you’ve done. Now see what I’ve done. I’ve opened a door before you that no one can slam shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used what you had to keep my Word. You didn’t deny me when times were rough.
THE ESSENCE
Even if you feel unseen and powerless, continue to live out faith in Christ, and you'll experience his support.
DAILY FODDER
Do you feel worn down by all the crazy things happening in the world? What does faithfulness look like in such a moment?
PRAYER
Merciful Lord, I am grateful for the strength you offer in my failty. I turn away from moments when doubt clouds my faith. Assist me in relying on you as my unshakable foundation. As you have unlocked doors for the faithful, direct my steps in obedience. In your steadfast presence, I discover genuine security. 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.
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.
