1 KINGS 8:56 (ABP)
Praise God! This restful era of peace demonstrates that he keeps his promises.
HEBREWS 4:9 (NLT)
So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Eventually, God's peace wins out and we'll enter into the era of eternal rest.
PRAYER
Prince of Peace, thank you for the moments of peace which point us toward what's coming. I admit that I get caught up in the anxiety of the moment and lose sight of what's to come. Help me to experience your peace right now as the down-payment on the rest for which I long. I'm going to allow you to transform me into an agent of Christ's peace. 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.

TROUBLES
EZEKIEL 16:61,63 (CEV)
When you think about how you acted, you will be ashamed... I will forgive you, but you will think about your sins and be too ashamed to say a word. I, the Lord God, have spoken.
2 CORINTHIANS 7:10 (CEV)
Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let your troubles drive you closer to God.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for steering me in the right direction. I admit that I allow the troubles I experience to get to me. Please give me divine insights that will free me to trust you in the midst of the stressful times. I want to allow the difficulties to strengthen my faith rather than drive me away. Amen.
