Good morning, Lord

Galatians 1:3-5

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Good morning, Lord, thank You that the evil that fills this world will one day no longer be a part of Your creation, it will be gone for ever and ever. Until then, as You taught us to pray in Matthew, deliver us from evil, help us be about Your business of rescuing others from evil and death and bondage to sin, we pray in Jesus' name, amen.
