Author Insight

Meeting God's Expectations

God wants the best for us. But to find God's best, we need to give up some of our deeply held, but still sinful beliefs. We are broken people, but we want to think we are perfect,. We lie to ourselves and to God. It is time to stop and confess so that we can live out the way of Christ.

Book Excerpt

Praying for BIG Things

Confession

O LORD, we confess that we have sinned against you and our fellow humans. You expected to find justice, but instead you found oppression. You expected to find righteousness, but instead you have heard and still hear cries of violence. LORD, we have failed you. Cause us to repent and turn and treat all of our brothers and sisters with respect and justice.

LORD, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Based on Isaiah 5:7
