DAY 5: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2026
Repentance & Faith: Coming with Empty Hands

Scripture: Mark 1:15 & Acts 20:21

God doesn't ask you to clean yourself up before coming to Him or try to get your act together on your own. The price was paid, and the receipt was signed in the blood of the Lamb! Salvation comes through two simple responses: Repentance and Faith. Repentance means turning around saying, 'Lord, I'm tired of running my own life.' Faith means opening your empty hands and trusting in Jesus alone; not your good works, baptism, or church attendance. The door to the Father's house is wide open.

Prayer Prompt: "Heavenly Father, I bring my empty hands, my burdens, and my failures to You today. I turn away from my self-reliance and put 100% of my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior."

 

Action Step: Take five quiet minutes to examine your heart. If you have been relying on your own good behavior or religious activity, surrender it and rest in Christ's free gift of grace.
