Daily Prayer for April 24th, 2019
Good morning, God—thank You! 🙂
Let me drop everything to follow You. Walk in the hope that only You can give. My way is a blur filled with confusing twists and turns. Show me Your ways, Lord, and how You would hike on these paths—trails of love, grace, mercy, and integrity. Give me confidence, courage, and endurance, even though the valleys of darkness. In Jesus name. Amen.

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

Peace with God Through Faith
5 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
