Divine
Today’s Divine is the infamous Hannah Duston, who was captured with her family and friends during a raid by the Abenaki people. She led her fellow captives to fight against their captors, and became an American legend with monuments in her honor.
Entry
Prayer
O Holy One, Who alone is worthy of all worship, forgive me for the things that I have put within Your rightful place. No matter how noble they are, they pale in comparison to You and are stumbling blocks to the wondrous things You have for me in Jesus. Help those who have not bowed to the idols I have fashioned, and help me to make restitution if my foolish ways have harmed them. Tear down the pride that makes me think of them as foreign, and raise them up by truth and hope that I might call them brothers and sisters. Through Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
