“Create in me a clean heart, O God; restore within me a sense of being brand new. Do not throw me far away from Your presence, and do not remove Your Holy Spirit from me. Give back to me the deep delight of being saved by You; let Your willing Spirit sustain me.” -Psalm 51:10–12 VOICE

A Time to Think…
“Denial doesn’t work. Hiding doesn’t work. Running doesn’t work. God’s Word and ways work! Today, let’s give God permission to penetrate our hearts with His Word and heal our hurts.” -Christine Caine, Bible teacher, author, founder of A21 Anti-Trafficking foundation.

A Time to Act…
Life would, no doubt, be a lot easier if, when we gave our lives to Christ, we developed a case of selective amnesia and could leave behind all the things that hurt us or the things we did but wish we hadn’t. The fact is, we do remember what we’ve done. We remember what was done to us, oftentimes carrying the wounds of our past into our future. Make today a new day for yourself. Leave that past behind and keep walking in the path God has for you.

A Time to Pray…
O Lord, my mind easily listens to a warped culture, to the lies Satan tries to tempt me with. On my own I cannot combat this, but with you, I can. So I ask you today to penetrate my heart with your Word, your healing, your strength, and your wisdom. AMEN.
