Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
Father I pray that Your children continue to stand fast in the liberty by which Your Only Son Jesus Christ has made us free, so we will not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Freely Jesus, You gave the gift of salvation, not because we kept the law, but by Your amazing grace. A redemption based on faith in You, justifying sinful men and women. Jesus, You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Your grace is the way of the Spirit who blesses and is the desire for Your children. May we see the results the come from intimacy with You who is wholly and beloved by the Father. Your grace Lord that is motivated by agape love, a love so powerful it raised You from the dead. Your cherished gift of eternal life that is not based on anything we could accomplish and is incapable of resulting in justification. Let us not Father walk in the ways of the flesh but be filled with the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father may Your people lay down all motivation that stems from pride and human effort, picking up our cross daily and walk yoked to You. For You Jesus have said, Come to Me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give You rest." Lord I pray for my dearest friends who are going through very challenging and tough times. Grant those who have wayward spouse patience in the suffering, resting knowing You are doing a work that You will see to completion. Bless those who need wisdom in decision making for an ailing loved one, pour out an extra measure of peace. Grant provisions for those who are enduring financial hardship, may they be still knowing You will not leave them begging for bread. Father thank You for Your grace in this life as we do not deserve to receive a thing from You but You kindly give to us anyway. Blessed be Your name Jesus in whom I pray. Amen.
Galatians 4:7-31 and Matthew 11:28-30
