Proverbs 20:5-25 - "Do not say, 'I will repay evil"; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you." This is a really hard thing to do. Though people are usually very quick to quote, "don't judge" when it comes to themselves, most of us are more than ready to carry out justice against others. You can see this from the freeway to news and tabloids. Proverbs reminds us that God is the only just judge, and the only true justice we can find for this world is found in his pierced hands.
John 17:1-26 - Not sure what to pray? I often find myself beginning a prayer and then being unsure of what I should say, or just saying the same thing over and over without contemplating what I'm saying. Here we see Jesus praying on behalf of us. He knows what to say and he knows what we need. He is our intercessor with the Father and through his prayer and action we are made holy and one.
