Today's Passage:
Ephesians 2:1-7Today's Prayer:
Father, you alone are our redeemer and our hope.
You have called us your own.
You know every part of our hearts.
You know every harsh word that has come from our mouths.
You know every worldly desire that consumes our thoughts.
Yet, in your great love, so rich in mercy, you chose to make us alive with Christ.
When we find ourselves caught up in the shame of our short comings,
When we find ourselves discouraged by the same struggles that we have yet to overcome,
May we remember that you are a Father who is rich in mercy.
May we remember that you alone bring true, everlasting life.
May we remember that you draw us into a new family and seat us in heavenly places.
Lord, we long to understand the fullness of your great love for us.
We long for the day when we will see you face to face.
We long for the day when we will understand the immeasurable riches of your grace.
Draw us near in the waiting.
Teach us to walk in a way that brings glory to your name.
Use our imperfections to point to your great love, so rich in mercy.
Amen.
