He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise...
JOHN 16:27 (GNT)
The Father himself loves you.
THE ESSENCE
We can always look to God because he loves us.
DAILY FODDER
What does God get out of loving us? What does God need to get?
PRAYER
Gracious God, as your beloved child I am thankful I can talk with you anytime, from any distance. I regret that I distrust and distort the clear line of communication made possible by Jesus. Grant me the courage to claim your word with authority. Help me to see the people who need assurance they can call on you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
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.

Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
