THANKFUL

Thursday, October 15, 2020

Lord, the longer I walk with You, the more I need to be reminded how Your grace saves sinners and changes lives. However, as life goes on, I tend to get lax in my relationship with You. When I pridefully think I have this Christianity thing all figured out, and I’m untouchable by the enemy since I’m a super-Christian and can handle life’s stuff on my own, You bring me back to the reality of needing Your grace by cutting the legs off my spiritual high-horse. Lord, forgive me for being so foolish to think I can follow You without Your help. If I’m to follow You and keep our relationship fresh and new, in humility, I ask for more of You and Your grace every day, and a lot less of me.

We pray an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. May this disease be eradicated from the earth and never return. Be kind and merciful to all affected by this horrible virus. We pray for complete and total recoveries for all infected. Help us do our part to practice the protocols to control the spread of the virus. May this virus bring people close to You, Lord, and may new levels of faith rise.

Forgive our sins, both as a nation and individually. Why are we surprised our country is in this divided, dire condition when we have turned our backs on You, Lord God. We repent and ask for You to heal our broken souls and heal our broke land. We cannot do it on our own. We need You back in our lives, Lord God. Living in Your grace, Jesus. Amen
