Prayer For God's Grace, a Prayer for July 20

A PRAYER FOR GOD'S GRACE IN DAILY LIVING
A Prayer for July 20

Oh, God, You are infinite wisdom
But I am a shortsighted creature.
I lean on Your beautiful kindness
And look for Your generous bounty.
Life is full of uncertain choices,
Give me Your clear guidance today;
I know not if happiness awaits,
Or will I meet tremendous sorrow-
But Your grace is sufficient always.*
Grace is such a merciful wonder
That You grant the repentant sinner;
A gift bought by measureless treasure
And paid by the Crucified Savior.
How can I be possibly worthy
Of such great and unbounded favor?
Let my life be gratitude's expression.
May I learn to appreciate trials-
For in each need I discover blessings.
Let grace give me dependence fully
Grant grace when I'm stumbling over
A path made of temptations abounding.
Fill me with grace whenever losses
Add up and bring depression's malaise.
If I share in victory's triumph
Let grace keep me steadfastly humble
And make my life glorify Jesus.


*2 Corinthians 12:9


The Bible says. "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves it is a gift of God not of works so no man may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. We are saved by grace and it is by grace that we continue to live our lives.

Prayer to Hold Fast, Prayer for July 25th

PRAYER TO HOLD FAST
Prayer for July 25

Oh, Holy God, You are my anchor.
I always find You to be steady.
But daily I turn to grasp for freedom
And often in test I just stumble.
It's because I am at heart a rebel.
Lord, rescue me from my own folly
And instruct me how to be faithful.
When any test of faith should arrive
Then remind me of Your great goodness,
And restrict my heart from doubting.
Please strengthen my faith with great resolve
For quitting You is not an option.
To fail brings shame to Jesus
Who endured the cross for all mankind.
Your honor must be my prime object
And glory to God be my passion.


There are many things we look to for support and to keep us from drifting. God is the object. We do not hold on to him as much as he holds onto us. Jesus said of his children that "...no one shall snatch them out of the Father's hand." John 10:29.There are times when we are tested or doubt but we can be confident that God will not forsake us.
