LORD All-Powerful, my family and I don't deserve what you have already done for us...
ACTS 16:15 (ABP)
After Lydia and her family were baptized, she continued to beg us, “If you think my faith in the Lord is genuine, accept my hospitality and come stay in my home.”
THE ESSENCE
God deals with both families and individuals.
DAILY FODDER
How does God's propensity to deal with families change how you relate to him as an individual?
PRAYER
Lord, my family and I don't deserve what you've already done for us. Because we've so individualized the gospel, we lack awareness of your blessing to families and groups. Open our eyes to what it means to be a blessed group. Show us how to extend hospitality so we can include others in your blessings. 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,

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.
