I am yours. Save me.
I want to obey your orders.
ACTS 12:7 (CEB)
Suddenly an angel from the Lord appeared and a light shone in the prison cell. After nudging Peter on his side to awaken him, the angel raised him up and said, “Quick! Get up!” The chains fell from his wrists.
THE ESSENCE
We can confidently expect God to rescue us.
DAILY FODDER
God's rescue always comes but rarely in the way we expect it. His freedom goes deeper than the chaims we're dealing with at any given moment.
PRAYER
God of freedom, your goodness is revealed in your grace. Loosen the chains that bind me. Help me let go of the shackles of hate and prejudice. Help me to remember that I am marked with the cross of Christ. As one who belongs to you, let me live in the freedom of your word. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
