JOB 12:10 (CEV)
Every living creature
is in the hands of God.
ACTS 17:28 (CEB)
In God we live, move, and exist.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God holds your life in his hands.
PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for carrying me this far. A lot has happened in my life that could have led to my demise. But you are guarding and protecting me. Forgive me for losing sight of your care and focusing exclusively on the challenge of the moment. Help me to put things in perspective and to focus on trusting in Christ. Because of your grace I'm not going to let the circumstances drag me down. Amen.

CREATOR
ISAIAH 44:24 (CEV)
Israel, I am your LORD.
I am your source of life,
and I have rescued you.
I created everything
from the sky above
to the earth below.
1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 (CEB)
However, for us believers,
There is one God the Father.
All things come from him, and we belong to him.
And there is one Lord Jesus Christ.
All things exist through him, and we live through him.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Since all things exist through Christ we find our life through him.
PRAYER
Creator of the universe, I thank you for your majestic power to fashion the entire earth and form me in my mother's womb. From the grandiose to the miniscule, your hand is in it all. Forgive me for forgetting I exist for you and your glory. May my life today be a testament to your goodness and grace. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

PRAYING
AMOS 7:2-3 (MSG)
I called out, “GOD, my Master! Excuse me, but what’s going to come of Jacob? He’s so small.”
GOD gave in.
“It won’t happen,” he said.
1 TIMOTHY 2:1 (CEV)
First of all, I ask you to pray for everyone. Ask God to help and bless them all, and tell God how thankful you are for each of them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Prioritize prayer, for God is eager to bless.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for being available to us. I confess that I've created a world for myself that is so small that I only rarely think about praying for others. Expand my vision. Reformat my heart. I'm going to prioritize prayer for everyone. Amen.

ACTIONS
The Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
PSALM 82:3 (NLT)
Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
1 JOHN 3:18 (NLT)
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Talk less about how much you care and do more to prove it.
PRAYER
Loving God, you showed us what you're about by sending your Son to live among us and die for us. I confess that I've gotten into the habit of trying to make things right through my Facebook posts and am not so quick to back those words up with actions. Help me to reprioritize actions over words. I'm going to follow Christ, who is the living Word, in backing up my words with genuine actions. Amen.
