Saturday, August 9 — Psalm 95
Jeremiah 5:26–6:30; 1 Thessalonians 5:4–15
Put away the foreign gods that are among you and incline your hearts to the Lord. Joshua 24:23
Paul said, “I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you. I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.” Acts 20:20-21 NIV
God, when we stray, guide us back to your loving embrace. Grant us the courage to repent, the strength to seek forgiveness, and the humility to return to your divine presence. This we pray in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
