I have done all that needs to be done. You are free from sin, even though you will sin. You are free to serve Me in My Kingdom. Now and forever.

Psalm of the Day
Even after Your resurrection You had work to do.
Even after my forgiveness in sin; You send me with work to do.
Even though I sin You use me in my brokenness.
Your wisdom is beyond my understanding.
I return and confess and You free me to go on.
You fill me with grace and power.
Sinful that I am, You continue to bless me and use me.
You continue to forgive me and mold me.
You teach me and show me a better way.
Lead me in this life path to Life in You.
Bless my coming and going.
I give my life to You.
I give my brokenness to You.
Let the world see the glory of Your face shining in mine.
For the joy You have provided radiates deep within my soul.
Thank You for Love.
Let's go to Galilee together.
Now and into eternity.
For You have provided eternal work.
You have blessed me with eternal joy.
Christ has risen!
Christ has risen in me.
Christ has risen indeed!
Alleluia!

Prayer of the Day
I come once again to You. I come broken and sinful. I plead Your forgiveness. I plead that You would once again fill me with Your grace and love. I plead that You would continue to use me to go with You to Galilee; today and tomorrow and forever. Go to serve in Your everlasting Kingdom. ---Amen
