Watchwords

The Moravian daily texts for today, January 1st, 2007, are:

The people came to Moses and said, "We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us." So Moses prayed for the people. (Numbers 21:7)

and

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (Matthew 6:13)

One thing unique to the version of the Daily Texts published by Mount Carmel Ministries is the daily prayer which is so well crafted. For today:

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for sending us servants who hear our confession and pray for us. We need helpers to rescue us from the power of the evil one. Forgive us for fleeing repentance. May we begin this year and each day in the freedom of forgiveness. Amen.
