PSALM 91:14 (CEB)
God says, "Because you are devoted to me,
I’ll rescue you.
I’ll protect you because you know my name."
1 JOHN 3:21-22 (CEV)
Dear friends, if we feel at ease in the presence of God, we will have the courage to come near him. He will give us whatever we ask, because we obey him and do what pleases him.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
You can count on God.
PRAYER
Lord God, I appreciate how reliable you are. Even though I am unreliable and am not 100% in line with your instructions, you are still reliable. You are still committed to me. Help me to become more devoted to you. I'm going to feel at ease in your presence. Amen.

and bandages their wounds.
MARK 16:2,4 (ABP)
The women went to the tomb at sunrise on the Sunday morning after the crucifixion. As the daylight grew brighter they could see that the large stone which had sealed the tomb had been rolled back from the entrance.

Thank you, Father, for the empty tomb. Jesus is risen! He lives with me and in me each day, healing my brokenness and binging up all that causes me pain. Forgive me when I hold onto myself too tightly, not allowing your grace and mercy to permeate my being. Today, I open myself to you, gracious God. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
