God remembered us when we were down,
His love never quits.
EPHESIANS 6:19-20 (MSG)
Pray that I’ll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out.
THE ESSENCE
Even when we're beat-up and worn down, God still uses us to further his mission.
DAILY FODDER
So often we assume that we need to be hitting on all cylinders before God can use us. In reality, he usually uses us in our weakness to get his work done. So much for my strategic plan!
PRAYER
Merciful God, you don't just get us through the problem times but you use our weaknesses to further your agenda through those times. Forgive me for acting as though I need to feel better or have more control of the situation before I can represent you. Give me courage, wisdom, and words to function as your ambassador in the situation I'm currently in. In my weakness you shine through. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
