ISAIAH 55:7 (MSG)
Let the wicked abandon their way of life
and the evil their way of thinking.
Let them come back to God, who is merciful...
2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 (CEB)
Be reconciled to God!
THE ESSENCE
God is more than willing to have you in his life, if you'll return home with him.
DAILY FODDER
Define reconciliation. What does it take?
PRAYER
Merciful God, I’m grateful that you want me in your life. I can't really understand why because the only thing I bring to the relational table is failure. Help me to sit down anyway—daily, forever. Engulf me with an awareness of your grace so that I can function as a reconciled follower of Jesus. 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.
