This week

Action: Choose one practice that anticipates renewal: forgive, make peace, care for creation, or do faithful work.

Prayer: God, forgive us, renew our hearts, give Your Spirit, and bring Your promised creation to completion.

Note for parents: Do not force agreement on one end-times system. Keep Israel and Judah visible in the original promise and avoid speculative detail.
