PSALM 119:45 (ABP)
I'll be free to go anywhere -- for I've absorbed your instruction into my life.
ROMANS 8:37 (CEV)
In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Because of what Christ has done we can enjoy true freedom in our lives.
PRAYER
God, because you are generous we have freedom. You defeated the forces of slavery at the cross and in your resurrection you've opened the prison doors. Even when we face difficulties we are free! Yet, my feelings don't always match up with reality. At times I feel overwhelmed by what's happening in the world and in my life. Restore my confidence -- please! I'm going to allow your word to guide me to go where I've not yet gone. 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.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Stay close to God and trust him to get you to where you need to be.
PRAYER
God, you alone are the one that I can completely trust. You have proven that over and over. Yet, I continue to drift away from where I need to be. I'm so easily distracted that looking to you for help isn't always my first thought. Then I get worried about how things are going to turn out. Remind me of your presence and I will more quickly trust you for the future. Amen.

The 11th Sunday after Pentecost
GENESIS 24:56 (MSG)
He said, “Oh, don’t make me wait! God has worked everything out so well..."

Any abilities or talents, any opportunities or successes, are all gifts from you, dear Lord. Thank you for guiding me along life's journey.
