And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
— 1 Peter 1:5 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, thank You for protecting me by Your great power. Remind me, Lord, that this happens when I believe in You and Your promise of protection. I look forward to the day I can see You face to face and thank You in person. Until then, Lord, help me to live by faith, honor Your Holy Name, and promote Your Kingdom agenda. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
