Day 263. Why are you not able to do this perfectly? (2026)

Today is day 263 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 263. Why are you not able to do this perfectly? Sin has corrupted human nature, inclining me to resist God, to ignore his will, and to care more for myself than for my neighbors. However, God has begun and will continue his transforming work in me, and will fully conform me to Christ at the end of the age. (Psalm 14; Jeremiah 17:1–13; Romans 3:9–23; 7:21–25; Philippians 1:3–11) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 91.For Submission to God's Will found on page 673 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
