See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
-Hebrews 12:15 (NIV)
Monday, October 1
Heavenly Father, Your beauty and grace come into clear view when we accept that You sent Jesus Christ as our Redeemer. Help us to not allow any roots of bitterness to take hold in our lives, causing discontentment and trouble.

Lift up Tim and Liz Schandorff, a financial analyst family. Tim provides vital information about MAF finances for field programs and leaders, to ensure wise and godly stewardship of the organization’s funds. Liz is a stay-at-home mom with their two sons. Since they returned from Haiti to the United States, they’ve found it challenging to raise needed support. Please pray that the Lord will bring in the shortfall.
