My prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for your love! I thank You that I am chosen by You. I thank You that I am adopted into Your family. I thank You that I have been purchased by Your blood. I thank You for showering me with Your kindness and grace. I thank you for revealing Your will to me. I thank You for promising me an inheritance. I thank You that I am Yours.
I ask that You would give me spiritual wisdom and insight that I might grow in the knowledge of who You are. Let my heart be flooded with Your light that I might have the confident hope You have given me. Let me remember the rich and glorious inheritance You have reserved for me. Help me to know the incredible greatness of Your power…the resurrection power!
Lord, You are above any ruler or authority in our world. You are greater than politics or all the influencers of our world. Nothing will come to me except through Your Hand as You have placed all authority under Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord for making the church the answer to the needs of our world as You are the Head and we are Your body. Help me to find my place in this body that I might always be aware of Your work through me! “I am redeemed!”
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
