Today's Devotional

And now, Lord, we beseech thee, to forgive us the sins of the past week. We would lie down at peace with thee this night; so that if this night our souls should be required of us, we may be found in Jesus—accepted in him, the beloved. In his name we offer up our petitions; to whom with thee, O Father, and thee, O Holy Ghost, be all praise and glory for ever and ever.
