Tuesday, February 18 — Psalm 26
2 Chronicles 26:16–28:8; Acts 23:25–24:3
You will know that I am the Lord; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame. Isaiah 49:23
Jesus said, “When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you will answer or what you are to say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what you ought to say.” Luke 12:11-12
Holy Sustainer and Comforter, you know that we will go to extraordinary lengths to hide our fears, flaws, and insecurities. Forgive us and comfort us when that prevents us from living with empathy and authenticity. Remind us that you live in us, around us, and through us, just as we are. Amen.
