Gracious God,
Thank You for the gift of Your grace, which has appeared to all, bringing salvation and hope into our broken world. We praise You for the kindness that reached us in our sin and called us into Your marvelous light.
Lord, train our hearts by that same grace. Teach us to say “no” to the ungodliness that tugs at our souls and to the worldly passions that promise much but deliver emptiness. Shape in us a holy hunger for righteousness, a longing to live upright and self-controlled lives as we wait for our blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Jesus, You gave Yourself to redeem us, to purify a people who are Yours—zealous for good works and eager to reflect Your love in the world. Let that truth stir us today. Let it move us to live not for ourselves, but for You who died and rose again for us.
As we walk through this day, may Your grace be our guide, Your Spirit be our strength, and Your coming be our hope. Make us a people who shine with the light of Your redemption in a dark and desperate world.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
