Today’s Verse:
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." - Ephesians 2:4-5

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

We are all sinners, after Adam and Eve were being tempted and had commited their first ever sin, by consuming the forbidden fruit. Since then, sin was crafted in our blood.

Since we are sinners already, sometimes, we will excuse ourselves from falling into all sorts of Satan's traps. But God is a faithful God, He wouldn't let us to fall into any kind of temptation from the devil and then leave us there to die! It is written "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when we are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." i.e. God builds an "exit" on every temptation in our lives.

Father, remind us that we are NOT sinners anymore, because You are just so rich in mercy that by the blood of Jesus on the cross, our sins have been forgiven. Hence, we have developed a brand-new relationship with You through Your grace!

Father, Thankyou for reaching down from Heaven to save us out of our messes, every now and then. Thankyou for handling the lion and wild animals in our lives and replace them with these harmless little lambs. Father, grant us grace, grant us Your kindness and gentleness. May You bless us and cherish us as always, until the day we meet again.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
