You Offer Me Abundant Life |
|
|
Everlasting God, You, the Creator of the universe, are with me and for me. You are all I need! When I feel as if something is lacking, it’s because I’m not connecting with You at a deep level. You offer me abundant Life. Help me respond to Your abundance by receiving Your blessings gratefully — trusting in Your provision and refusing to worry about anything.
I’m learning that it’s not primarily the adverse events in my world that make me anxious; the main culprit is my thoughts about those events. When something troubles me, my mind starts working strenuously to take control of the situation — striving to bring about the result I desire. My thoughts close in on the problem like ravenous wolves. Determined to make things go my way, I forget that You are in charge of my life. At such times, I desperately need to switch my focus from the problem to Your Presence. Teach me how to stop my anxious striving and wait for You — watching in hope to see what You will do. You are God my Savior!
In Your redeeming Name, Jesus, Amen. Isaiah 41:10 NLT; Romans 8:31-32; John 10:10 ESV; Micah 7:7 * | |

I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
— Psalm 121:1-2 |

Loving Savior,
You brought me out into a spacious place. You rescued me because You delighted in me. I know that Your delight in me wasn’t based on any worthiness that was in me. You freely chose to lavish Your Love on me – bringing me out of slavery to sin into a spacious place of salvation. Since my best efforts were utterly insufficient to save myself, You rescued me and clothed me in Your own perfect righteousness. Help me to wear this clothing of salvation with overflowing Joy — living as a child of Light, secure in Your radiant righteousness.
Salvation is the greatest, most precious gift I could ever receive, and I’ll never stop thanking You for it! In the morning when I awake, I’ll rejoice that You have adopted me into Your royal family. Before I go to sleep at night, I’ll praise You for Your glorious grace. Lord, I want to live in ways that help other people see You as the Source of abundant, never-ending Life! In Your righteous, royal Name, Jesus, Amen. Psalm 18:19; John 8:34; Isaiah 61:10 NLT; Ephesians 5:8
