Memory Verse

“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”—1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NIV)

Prayer Guide

Holy and beautiful Father God, thank You for being committed to my transformation. Not only did You send Your Son to pay the penalty of my own sin and shame so I could be restored to You, but You shower even more grace on me daily by drawing me deeper, pulling me closer, and setting me apart for holy use. It’s hard to fully grasp Your instruction and Your truth at times, but that will never take away from the fact that You are always good and worthy of worship! I surrender today and every day. Amen.

This Week
