Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.
Reading: Psalm 78:40-49
LORD God,
I believe in your wrath
because you are grieved
at the hate and harm
we generate in this world.
Jesus,
I want to hear you calling
and follow you
to a place of deep personal change.
Amen.

You adulterous people,
don’t you know that friendship with the world
means enmity against God?
Therefore,
anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world
becomes an enemy of God.
Or do you think Scripture says without reason
that he jealously longs for the spirit
he has caused to dwell in us?
But he gives us more grace.
That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
Submit yourselves, then, to God.
Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.
Come near to God
and he will come near to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners,
and purify your hearts,
you double-minded.
Grieve, mourn and wail.
Change your laughter to mourning
and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves before the Lord,
and he will lift you up.
(James 4:4-10)*
