Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Colossians 3:15-17 NASB
God, there is so much danger and turmoil around us- and yet we are washed with Your calm! We are humbled before, grateful for the relationships You have brought in and out of our lives, those that stay and those that were visitors - and there is nothing that we can say that is big enough to thank You for the relationship we have with You. Holy holy holy - we seek shelter under You - oh Lord, we have relationship with Jesus Christ because He wears the price of my sins and those of my brothers and sisters, redeeming and reconciling. Amazing grace- You know the times we have been ungrateful, held ill thoughts toward You and others. You know the times we complain and grumble about life and its circumstances, but You love each of Your people regardless WOW- reminded again that everything that You allow to cross our path is to repair us into Your image, I am thankful for the decisions that You allow me to make, and the life lessons that come from these decisions. We are thankful, Lord, that we do not have to live under condemnation anymore, You have truly set us free! We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
