Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”

What a beautiful prayer this is! To be complete in everything good, what an inspiring thought. How often I feel incomplete, that despite my best efforts there is just something missing in me, some piece that isn’t in place. It is frequently associated with my wandering off after my own desires, following my own agenda, forgetting the only One in whom completion is even possible. When I am connected to God, resting in the loving presence of Jesus, I am restored, ready to once again seek to know and do God’s will, not my own.
Gracious God, draw me back to you and make me complete. Amen.
