WITHSTANDING BY GOD’S GRACE AND MERCY

Father, thank you for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to hear and soak in your Holy Word.

As many have awakened and are beginning their daily journey, they first pray a prayer of thankfulness to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
They also praise you for your unmerited favor. When they were challenged by the evil spirit, you never failed them and continuously showed up and showed out. Because of this, they truly understand that you are indeed always present during the good and the bad and that no weapons formed against them would prosper.

They also praise you for your unwavering love. Because of this, they are better able to treat others as they would like to be treated.

Father, help all to withstand the battles that they have and will encounter by trusting in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things, situations, and/or encounters.

“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”
1 Peter 5:10

“Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in times of need.” Hebrews 4:16
