Gracious and Merciful God,
We come before You humbled by the truth of who we once were—foolish, disobedient, deceived, and enslaved by our own desires. We confess that our lives were once marked by envy, strife, and hatred. But then—You intervened.
You revealed Your kindness and love through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Not because we earned it. Not because we were righteous. But solely because of Your mercy. Thank You for saving us, for washing us clean, and for giving us new birth and new life through Your Holy Spirit.
Thank You for pouring out Your Spirit generously, not sparingly, so we might be renewed from the inside out. Thank You for justifying us by Your grace and giving us the confident hope of eternal life.
Lord, help us to never lose sight of this trustworthy truth. May our lives overflow with gratitude. Let our trust in You be shown in our devotion to doing good—works not to earn Your love, but as a response to it. May our lives become living testimonies of Your grace and kindness, pointing others to the hope we’ve found in You.
Empower us by Your Spirit to walk in love, to serve with humility, and to shine with the light of Christ. These teachings are good and beneficial for all—may we live them well for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
