LIVING GRACE

PSALM 57:1 (NLT)
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!
I look to you for protection.


JOHN 1:16 (ABP)
Out of Christ's unlimited stockpile of grace we've all continued to receive blessings stacked on blessings.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Live as though there is no end to the grace that Christ is gifting us -- because there isn't.

PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for your merciful intervention in our world and my life. I confess that at times I'm still prone to live according to a pull-myself-up-by-the-bootstraps mentality. Help me to let go of that way of thinking and all that goes with it. I'm going to live according to your grace. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
