Here is a prayer for your weekend based on a Puritan prayer from the book, The Valley of Vision. Take a moment to reflect on this prayer ... and then make it your own!
O God of mercy, God of grace,
I must confess that all too often
I take your amazing grace for granted.
I do not thank you, nor do I praise you
nearly enough
For giving to me what I in absolutely
no way deserve or merit.
O Lord, I am astonished at the difference
between my receivings and my deservings,
between the state I am now in and my past gracelessness,
between the heaven I am bound for and the hell I merit.
Who made me to differ but You?
What do I now have that I did not receive from Your gracious hand?
Father, may you bless me so that I will live
Every day, every moment in the full awareness of your grace.
May I never tire of offering You the thanks and praise
That You, and You alone deserve!
In the name of the Three-in-One,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen
Thanks for stopping by . . .
