PSALM 85:9-10 (ABP)
God’s salvation is at hand for those who live to honor him. With his salvation comes his glory -- living here with us in our land. Imagine what it will be like -- love and loyalty in tight alliance -- peace and justice embracing like old friends.
ROMANS 5:1 (ABP)
Faith has resulted in a restored and right relationship with God, through our Master Jesus Christ. Indeed, we are at peace!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is offering his peace for all who will accept it.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the peace that is ours through the faithfulness of Christ. Give me the faith to fully embrace him and his peace. Restore the hope I've lost because of the violent words and actions that are so prominent on the world stage. I need to refocus on what you've done and what you will do as relationships are restored through you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.

SENT
ISAIAH 66:19 (MSG)
I’ll send the survivors of judgment all over the world: Spain and Africa, Turkey and Greece, and the far-off islands that have never heard of me, who know nothing of what I’ve done nor who I am. I’ll send them out as missionaries to preach my glory among the nations.
