Holy Spirit, give us wisdom to submit to the revelation of Your truth the first time we encounter it. Keep us humble so that we don’t have to be put through the paces to learn things the hard way.

Father God, remind us that forgiveness is the very focal point of the gospel message. Jesus paid for it with His life.

May we never cheapen Your grace because we can now come into Your presence anytime. (more…)

Keep us from stubbornness and gently bring us back to surrender at Your feet. (more…)
