PSALM 116:9 (ABP)
As long as I'm living, I'm going to walk alongside GOD.
LUKE 20:38 (CEV)
So the Lord isn't the God of the dead, but of the living. This means that everyone is alive as far as God is concerned.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Walk alongside God for the rest of your life - and it turns into life everlasting.
PRAYER
You have set me on a good path, dear Lord. Life's journey is not aimless or without destination. I regret that many times I stray, seeking my own way in the world. On this new day may I actively seek your direction and follow it in the way of the cross, looking to Jesus my Savior to lead me forward. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
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.

POWERFUL CREATOR

by whom all things were created,
and for whom we live.

and through whom we live.

IN HIS TIME
ISAIAH 49:8 (MSG)
God also says:
"When the time’s ripe, I answer you.
When victory’s due, I help you."
LUKE 17:21 (CEB)
God’s kingdom is already among you.
SUMMARY SENTENCE

Glorious God, thank you for sending your Son into our human neighborhood to reveal yourself and to execute your salvation. I know that there is more to come but I get impatient when things aren't going right in my life or the world. Forgive me for my restless lack of faith. Yet, I would pray with the early church -- Maranatha! -- "Come, Lord, come quickly." Amen.
