daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? I talk to people who feel unworthy of being saved, of being loved by God, of deserving anything other than junk and instead of seeing truth in the Word of God, continue in their folly. By no means am I judging but making observations. Why do they do this? Why do they not understand that God loves them and they are not worthy but because of that love, God provided a way of redemption through his son. The enemy wants people to rebel and not see the true God and thusly join his ranks. The enemy could care less about you but doesn't want anybody to find Jesus. You will not ever be good enough and guess what? That isn't even a part of salvation. We need to recognise we can't possible be "good enough" and accept the gift of salvation and press on with goodness not for earning anything but because it's right. Our souls are already paid for. We don't keep paying over and over for that coat we bought do we? So do good because it's the right thing to do, not to earn a place in heaven.

Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
KJV

Ephesians 2:1-10
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace and thank you I don't have to earn it. Lord we lift those searching for truth. Reveal yourself and let them see where they need to go. Lord we ask for blessing financially and physically on those who cry out to you. Lord we ask for protection of our troops and ask for mercy to our enemies. Please reveal wisdom in all we do for we desire to please and to do what you want in our lives. Thank you for grace that we are able to come to you through your son. We praise and worship you in Jesus name, amen
