Almighty God and Abba father, over these last several days I have tried to understand your love for me and my fellow humans. I don’t profess to understand your love, but I do know that you have blessed me in ways I could not have imagined. So please, dear father, help me remember your great love for me when I am faced with temptation, led to doubt your love, or wonder about my worthiness. I want your love to be reflected in my daily life. Thanks for loving mightily. Thanks for loving sacrificially. Most of all thanks for loving first.
Father, your love is so vast, so gracious and so life changing. I ask that you, Holy Spirit, would help change my heart to more perfectly reflect and glorify the Father.
Dear Lord, please help us tear down every wall that divides and separates your people. Forgive each other. Prejudice towards each other. Stir in us a deep longing to share the unity of heaven in our world today.
How can I ever thank you for your love and mercy demonstrated in the sacrifice of your Son for my sin? Please forgive me for those times that I have not shown my appreciation for your grace in the way I live my life.
Amen.
Thank you for being there in my past when all others forsook me. Thank you for being there when I was unaware of your presence until I looked back and saw the evidence of your grace. Please give me courage to truly believe your promises, especially this one about always being there.
Thank you, Father, for being at work in my life. I confess that at times you seem distant, but looking back over the crucial moments of my life, I can see your fingertips and your grace leading me to where I am today. Dear Father, please make your presence even more powerfully known in my life as I seek your will and commit to live for your glory.
