Praying Scripture— Grace

Scripture

“For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].”

John 1:16— AMP

And

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Ephesians 2:8–9— NIV

And

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:23-24— NIV

Pray

Sometimes, it’s hard to extend grace to people who have hurt me. When I’m clinging to anger and resentment, remind me again of how much You love this person. Put someone in my path that I can show grace to today. Help me not to be so focused on my to-do list that I miss them. Thank You for the grace You extend to me. I don’t deserve it, but I’m oh so grateful. Wrap me in Your arms of mercy today.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

    Where Is Your Bubble?

    When I was recently remodeling our house, I would stop at different points and check to see if what I was working on was level. Doing so makes a difference in how the finished product looks. It is …

    Struggling Together in Prayer

    I was in the restroom touching up my makeup before speaking to several hundred women. When I looked in the mirror, thoughts began swirling in my mind. What am I doing here? What do I possibly have to say to these women that could make any difference in their lives? I am not capable of walking to that podium tonight. Read more...
