I thank you and praise you for loving a wicked and sinful person like me. Thank you for putting on skin, walking on this earth, living a perfect life despite the same temptations that we go through today, and being crucified, dying on the cross to pay for my sins and the sins of everyone else in this world even those who don't know the good news of Jesus Christ yet. You were then raised from the grave three days later, victorious over sin and death, and I can now live with the Living hope in spending eternity with you as my eternal life began in the moment that you saved me from a real place called hell. I can now call you "Abba", father, and joyfully live to please you as your child. As you've called us to share this good news to the ends of the earth, making disciples of all nations, I am enthusiastic and motivated to live with purpose by your grace. Your grace is sufficient for me. Thank you God for abundantly pouring your grace and your love onto us. God give us eyes to see that we may see you through your eyes as we live day by day throughout the world. God give us ears to hear you. God give us your heart that we may understand and respond in repentant faith in what you call us each to do for your glory. Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you Lord for the little things that we take for granted, for the bread that I ate for lunch today, Jehovah Jirah. You say that the eyes are the lamp of the body, and I pray that eyes would turn away from living for ourselves and to living for you, not having a divided focus, but one-- to bring you glory. Forgive us for selfishness, forgive us when our eyes are focused on ourselves and for any other sin that our hearts may be deceiving ourselves about. Thank you for your mercy and for your grace, and I pray for grace to forgive others and each other in order to live united as one body, the body of Jesus Christ. Blessed are the merciful for they will shown mercy. God protect us in the name of Jesus Christ, as you are always with us, every second of every day, omnipresent all over the world. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever, and to You, Lord, be all the glory forever and ever. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
My God is alive!
Grace
