READ
Matthew 28:16-20 (NLT)
16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted! 18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

PRAY
"And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one."
Holy Spirit, help me guard my heart against the evil one. Send your grace to me. Lord, open my mind as I read Your word, and help me fortify myself against the temptations that take me away from Your love. Most merciful Father, give me the strength to recognize my self-righteousness and to turn from selfish desires that teardown my relationship with You and the people in my life.
