ISAIAH 53:5 (MSG)
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 (CEV)
Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner, so that Christ could make us acceptable to God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Christ took on our pain in order to repair our relationship with God.
PRAYER
God, I am awestruck by the lengths that you've gone in order to repair our relationship. And it's not at all your fault. We're the ones who turned away from you, turning your good world into a hell hole. Thank you for the forgiveness that Christ Jesus established through the cross and resurrection. Help me to find new ways of telling this wonderful story. I want to see others awestruck, too. 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.

GOD RULES!
JEREMIAH 10:10 (CEB)
But the LORD is the true God!
He’s the living God and the everlasting king!
MATTHEW 11:25-26 (MSG)
Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer: “Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. You’ve concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people. Yes, Father, that’s the way you like to work.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
In simple terms, God rules!
PRAYER
Living God, thank you for abiding in me and all people. I often grasp at gaining worldly wisdom and intelligence. Then I risk missing your hidden love messages. Keep me focused on you like an infant caught by her mother's smile. From you, Father, I receive words of loving acceptance. Today I proclaim them to others. Amen.
