Romans 6:6-7

7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Ephesians 4:22-24

22 You were taught, with regard to your former
way of life, to put off your old self, which is being
corrupted by its deceitful desires;
23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
24 and to put on the new self, created to be like
God in true righteousness and holiness.

Today's Prayer...


Our dear Father,we ask you to
come to us from heaven and surround us with
your goodness and mercy, with your light and life.
We are weak, poor, and lost just when we need
to stand firm and hold on. But you are faithful.
You stay by us and help us. Continue to help and
sustain us, we pray. Do not let our lives be lived
in vain. May something of eternity be with us in
all we have to face in life, so that over and over
again we may find courage to start anew.

Young people will insult their elders,
and vulgar people will sneer at the honorable.

and suffering, but your goodness, your life,
and your eternity.
