Pearls of Grace: 12 Pearls + 12 PrayersSample

Plan and Purpose: Our deepest desire is that Christ will be glorified in and through us. We want others to witness God’s mercy, love, and grace in our words, attitudes, and actions, and be drawn to Christ as they observe us walk through our daily lives. This does not mean that we have to paste a smile on our faces. When we are weak or wounded we must place our hope in God. We must believe that He has works for us to do that He has prepared beforehand that we would accomplish by His grace. He will go before us, He will walk beside us, He will uphold us, He will follow up behind us. He will accomplish His plan and His purpose through us all to His glory!

Father God, you have saved me for your purposes, not for my own. My salvation was not something I accomplished in my own strength. You are the God of my salvation. I am YOUR workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Help me walk by grace through faith in the path that you laid out for me from before time began. Help me humbly do the works you have called me to do, not looking to the right or the left. May I be found faithful when I stand before you in heaven. In Jesus' name. Amen.
