I have been made a messenger of this wonderful news by the gift of grace that works through me. Even though I am the least significant of all His holy believers, this grace-gift was imparted when the manifestation of His power came upon me. Grace alone empowers me so that I can boldly preach this wonderful message to non-Jewish people, sharing with them the unfading, inexhaustible riches of Christ, which are beyond comprehension. Ephesians 3:7-8 TPT
God, we love You, and oh how we need You. The constant struggles and demands feel intense some days. We’re weary and worn. We feel exhausted and discouraged. There are ever changing rules, statistics, regulations, but we trust You, our Heavenly Father, hold it all in Your hands! Yes Lord! Please help us to remember that You are here, close, Forgive us for the times we’ve failed to lift our eyes first to You, for the days we’ve forgotten to even come before You! Fill us with the power of Holy Spirit; with Your strength, Your peace, Your joy. Fill us with Your wisdom and discernment, and the constant reminders that Jesus Christ will go with us, and You will give us rest. 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!
