Be Gracious

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.  Philippians 4:6-7 TPT

Ask God for what you need. He may not always give us what we want, but He is certainly, always, faithful to meet our true needs. 

"And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors..."

We all carry a debt of sin that we cannot pay. Sin is expensive. It cost a perfect life offered on our behalf—the life Jesus Christ lived and freely gave as a gift of grace for us to accept if we choose. What a gift indeed!

Through that, God offers forgiveness.  And forgiveness was never meant to end with us. Forgiveness is meant to flow through us. 

As we speak with God in prayer and read the Bible, we realize that He expects us to be gracious to others.
