PRAYER: O Great God of Deliverance, thank you for rescuing Israel from Pharaoh's grasp, David from the sword of Goliath, and Daniel from the lion's den.

Until that day, guide me as I use this gift of liberation to serve your children and live for you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. (Source: Heartlight)
