1 Chronicles 29 Psalms 51.

The Creator's strength is the answer for the creature's weakness.   Richard A. Swenson, M.D. A Minute of Margin Devotions pg 46

Our Gracious God, If not for the blood of Christ Jesus, how utterly dark and hopeless our reality would be. As we learn humility, reverence, and love for You, we are bold to confess our sins to You. You, Lord, are forgiving and good,

abounding in love to all who call to You. Who is a God like You, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. May we be quick to seek refuge in You. In the Name of Christ, amen. (Adah Hutchcraft)

The Creator's strength is the answer for the creature's weakness.   Richard A. Swenson, M.D. A Minute of Margin Devotions pg 46

Heavenly Father, I am your humble servant, I come before you today in need of hope. There are times when I fell helpless, There are times when I feel weak. I pray for hope. I need hope for a better future. I need hope for a better life. I need hope for love and kindness.

Some say that the sky is at it's darkest just before the light. I pray that this is true, for all seems dark. I need your light, Lord, in every way.

I pray to be filled with your light from head to toe. To bask in your glory. To know that all is right in the world, as you have planned, and as you want it to be.

Help me to walk in your light, and live my life in faith and glory.

In your name, I pray, Amen. (REM)
