We read these verses today in the One Year Bible:
1 KINGS 12:20-13:34
ACTS 9:26-43
PSALM 132:1-18
PROVERBS 17:6
ACTS 9:26-43
PSALM 132:1-18
PROVERBS 17:6
In Acts, Peter finds a young woman named Tabitha who was always making beautiful things and helping the poor during her life. But she got sick and died. Peter prayed over her and she came back to life. And we can only think she would continue making beautiful things and helping the poor.
God brings you and me back from the dead, too. Dead ways of thinking, sinful habits, dark thoughts about others. Why does He bring us back? To make beautiful things and to help the poor. And to do other things that only you can do.
God, thank You for bringing us back... to do good.

• A Prayer to God by Ralph Ferraro
•
•Almighty and most merciful God, we thy servants approach with fear and trembling before thee, and in all humility do most heartily beseech thee to pardon our manifold and blind transgressions, committed by us at any time. Grant, o, most merciful Father, for his sake who died upon the cross, that our minds may be enlightened with the divine radiance of thy holy wisdom; for seeing, O, Lord of might, power, majesty, and dominion, that, by reason of our gross and material bodies, we are scarce apt to receive those spiritual instructions that we so earnestly and heartily desire. Open, O, blessed Spirit, the spiritual eye of our soul, that we may be released from this darkness overspreading us by the delusions of the outward senses, and may perceive and understand those things which are spiritual.
