A Prayer For Grace

I was reading through some papers today and I ran across this, it really touched my heart so I thought I would share it with everyone. It took me back to when I first encountered the Lord in my life in 2007:)

When the Bible says we are saved by grace, it means that you have done us the biggest favor of all–you have pardoned us from the death sentence that we all deserve because of our sin. We do not have to earn your favor or work our way into heaven. Hallelujah!

By grace we are forgiven for our sins and restored to full fellowship with you. Thank you, Lord. Please let us be humble enough to recognize our need for you and to request your forgiveness. The more we realize how much we need your grace, the more we realize we don’t deserve it–which is exactly why we need it! We cannot take credit for our salvation any more than a baby can brag about being born. The fact that this is your gift and not the product of our own effort gives us great comfort, security, and hope. Help us to accept your grace like the gift that it is.

God’s Grace

After reading this I thought to myself, this reminds me of Ephesians 2:8-9 which says; God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. That is truly powerful and very deep as well. It’s all about Jesus and we are so fortunate to have such a compassionate, loving God.

Have a wonderful day.

Youth leader,

About spiritministries

I am a man who has learned not to rely on my own understanding the hard way. God revealed himself to me two and a half years before I got out of prison. It's the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. There is truly only one way and that is to have a relationship with God. Since my release S.P.I.R.I.T Ministries has came to fruition. We meet every Wednesday night at 7p.m. God asked me to write a book, in 18 months I finished Rock Bottom; Inspired by God, He provided me with a web blog, thank you Andrew, as you can see, I am a motivational-inspirational speaker, and singer. We now have a band known as The Un-Scene, you can find the link on my web site and check it out on face book. I am just a man who was given true life while in prison, freedom, salvation, and unspeakable joy by the grace of God. We go many places to speak and sing for the glory of God. I just want to share what God has done in my life that you may have the opportunity to experience the same joy He gave me. I give God all the glory for everything in my life for I couldn't accomplish anything a part from Him. If ye shall know the truth, the truth shall set you free, John 8:32. If you would like to hear us just contact me and God willing we will remain obedient. God bless you all.
