Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:17-18 God of all grace, you called us to your eternal glory to be your children, to be loved by you. Help me be obedient to your will, that I may be found without spot and blameless in your presence, O Lord. Help me grow in grace and knowledge that I may not be led away from your everlasting kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

How often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him?

Then Peter came and said to Him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus *said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Matthew 18 :21-22 Father God, you love me more than we deserve to be loved. You never give up on me, your love sees me, broken, full of sins, regrets and unrighteousness, yet you take me back, time and time again, and you embrace me with your loving arms. Help me be more like you, O Lord, fill me with your love and Spirit, that I may love unconditionally and forgive as you do. Let me not give up on others as you have never given up on me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

where sin abounded, grace abounded much more

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21 Almighty and merciful Lord, the abundance of your mighty grace is more than we can understand, your Grace is greater than our sins, bigger than the mistakes we make. We are never too broken or too far for you, and you continue to love us with your unconditional love. I humbly come to you, O God, and ask forgiveness of my sins, I ask that you flood my life with your grace and fill me with your spirit that I may produce righteousness in my life, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 Father God, thank you for all the blessings you have already given me, thank you for the blessings that are still yet to be received. Help me put all my hope and trust in your unfailing and everlasting love, O God, may my soul rest without fear or worry knowing that you are still sitting on the throne no matter what goes around me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Casting all your anxieties on him

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith 1 Peter 5:6-9 Father God, I humbly come to your throne of grace to give you all my cares, struggles, hurts, pains, disappointments, worries and anxieties and I cast them at your feet. I ask that you take them away from me, O Lord, that you strengthen me and fill me with courage to face whatever path you have prepared for me. May I stand firm in faith and rest knowing that everything is in your hands and you will take care of them according to your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

We fix our eyes not on what is seen

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 Father God, I thank you for reminding me that everything in this earth and what it has to offer is only temporary, but the things of your kingdom and your amazing promises are eternal. Help me fix my eyes on you and your kingdom, O Lord, help keep my eyes on you, to focus on what really matters and to live by faith, not by sight, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Love never fails

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Father God, thank you for your unfailing love, help me remember that life is too short to live with anger, hatred and bitterness. Don't let me delight in evil, keep record of wrongs, or live in the past, O Lord. May the desire of my heart be to seek you, to help others and love like Jesus that I may witness your amazing love at work in my life and rejoice with the truth, I pray in His precious name. Amen
