Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHopeCompassionAweContentment

Praise is a big part of what makes us who we are. So, in order for us to worship God, our hearts and lives must be filled with a strong desire to know and follow His will. Even though we will never be perfect at this, grace covers us as we try to live for His glory. But that grace should never be used as an excuse for being spiritually lazy or weak on purpose.

Prayer

Even though I will never match your strength or majesty, holy God, I want to be more like you in character. As I seek your will in your Scriptures and as I strive to be obedient in my daily life, open my eyes and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, enlighten me. Please pardon my sin and give me a heart that is pure and holy and completely dedicated to doing your will. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
