John 20:31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.Prayer Direction
Thank Jesus for the many times He has forgiven you and restored in you. Think of specific instances. Pray for a heart that is willing to both receive God’s restoring grace and share it with others. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you places where you need to confess, repent, and receive His restoring power.“Live It!” Challenge
