Lord, we thank you for this morning and gathering us here together as your people. We pray, Lord, that You would tune our hearts towards you. You are A great God, we thank you for your kindness and your love, your mercy. That has been poured out abundantly.
We thank you Lord, that there is nothing that can separate us from the love of Christ. no life, no death. Nothing, we cannot even separate ourselves from your love. You have binded yourself to us, Lord, in the new covenant, Lord, through the blood of your Son.
It hinges upon nothing that we have done but simply upon our faith in you, and by grace you have given to us faith, for it is by grace you are saved through faith and that not of yourselves. And so Lord, we claim no credit whatsoever for anything. The only thing we bring to you is our sin. And Lord, you respond with the Savior with mercy and grace.
Help us, Lord, to understand more fully that you are gentle and lowly of heart. That Lord, your love towards us is beyond measure. And that Lord, we are secure in the beloved. We are secure in Christ....
