PSALM 106:1 (ABP)
All honor be to GOD! Thank him because he's good and his unrestrained love has no end.
COLOSSIANS 3:17 (NLT)
And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let thankfulness to God characterize your life -- everything you say and do.
PRAYER
God, I don't say it enough but thank you for being who you are and including me in your circle of friends. Help me to become more expressive so that I may more completely represent Christ Jesus. I want everything I do and say to become an expression of gratitude. Amen
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.

PRODUCE
PSALM 103:8 (ABP)
GOD is compassionate and merciful,
super patient, and full of unwavering love.
GALATIANS 5:22-23 (CEB)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let God reproduce his characteristics in you.
PRAYER
God, you are full of all that gives life. There is not an ounce of negative in you. Yet, while I admire your qualities I am slow to allow you to replicate them in my life. Keep me close to yourself so that I grow to resemble you. I'm going to rethink what it is that I want out of life and realign my goals so that your life grows through me. Amen.

SPEND SOME TIME
PSALM 48:9 (ABP)
O God, as we sit here in your place of worship, we ponder and ponder your unfaltering love.
ACTS 3:1 (MSG)
Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Spend some time in the place where you meet with God and marvel at his love.
PRAYER
Lord, your love is marvelous. I confess that there are days that go by when I don't even notice it, though. I have allowed my life to fill up with busyness and distractions galore. Slow me down and reset my clock so that I can have time to focus on you and your great love. I pray in the name of Jesus, who is your love in the flesh. Amen.

RELY ON GOD
PSALM 79:9 (MSG)
You’re famous for helping; God, give us a break.
Your reputation is on the line.
Pull us out of this mess, forgive us our sins—
do what you’re famous for doing!
1 JOHN 4:10 (MSG)
This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Rely on God -- always.
PRAYER
Your name is glorified, Lord God, when we ask you to be the Lord of our life. Oh, how I like to put you in my medicine cabinet and treat you like another medication. "Take when needed." But you are more than a prescription. You are the source of wellness, the Dr. of redemption. Heal my fickle faith. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
