Old Testament Verse

The Israelites cried to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against you, because we have abandoned our God."
Judges 10:10

New Testament Verse

Zachariah said, "You will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins."
Luke 1:76-77

Prayer

Zachariah reminds me of your gifts of faith, salvation, and forgiveness. His son John prepared the way for people to receive your message, Jesus. He shone the spotlight on the boulders of sin. Do your roadwork in my heart, Lord, so the message of your gospel can enter my wilderness. Pull me from my ruts. Restore my joy. Amen.
