Scripture Readings:  Psalm 18:11-20, Genesis 37-38, Matthew 13:44-14:12
Reflection Verse:  Genesis 38:26
 
Prayer:  Beloved, when Judah got caught in his own trap of adultery, he acknowledged his error of not giving his son, Shelah, to Tamar as promised. Judah also acknowledged that he had sinned, then he repented from it and forgave his daughter-in-law. Beloved, we should never point out the mote in somebody else’s eye when we fail to deal with the beam in our own eye.

Prayer:  Dear Holy Father, no matter the gravity of my sin, there are no excuses. Help me to acknowledge the sin in my life and repent from it – then never repeat it again, thus, showing my true repentance. Lord, help me to  live with the results of what I did, but also know that in Christ I have been forgiven… In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
