Gracious Father, we stand amazed! The reality of your eternal covenant with us through the sacrificial work on the cross by your Son and our Savior Jesus Christ takes our breath away. You, the Mighty God and Masterful Creator, out of your indescribable love breathed faith into us, forgave us, and threw our sins in the deepest ocean, and raised us from eternal death into perfect communion with you and life everlasting. No words can describe your redeeming love and our joy. I pray that we might experience clear focus on the prize; may we know Christ’s presence overflowing, bringing glory, honor, and praise to His glorious name. Broaden our understanding of your incredible love, how wide and long and deep the love of Christ is for us.
Father, we thank you for the prevailing peace that surpasses all human understanding and flows from your redemptive rescue in our life. Indeed, Jesus our Redeemer and Savior serves as our Great Shepherd; He is our lover, protector and provider equipping us with everything necessary for life and godliness.
In Christ,
Blessings!

Amen.
