GOD’S GRACE AND MERCY

Father, I praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give thanks to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, protect, restore, renew, and love.

Father, help all to establish a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for tomorrow is never promised.
Help all to seek your holy word as they walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness. Help all to further understand that all blessings come from you and realize that it is because of your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5
