Staying In the Grace for Today

A Daily Blessing

I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources

he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.

Ephesians 3:16 

As we seek to make our life in Christ our way of life, as we seek to stay in God’s grace for each day, this blessing above from the Apostle Paul is certainly a great way to start each day!

The family structure of biblical times proactively sought God’s blessings as well as parental blessings. The family structure in the 20^th and 21^st centuries evolved into a more individualistic culture where seeking such blessings is not nearly as prevalent. It doesn’t need to remain this way. Just as Joshua calls us to choose this day whom we will serve, we can also choose this day to seek God’s blessing, and in our families being more proactive to giving our blessings.

In my life, I have found this Collect for Grace an excellent prayer to begin each day:

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

My Takeaway: We can also make Paul’s blessing our prayer: “Gracious Father, I pray that from your glorious, unlimited resources you will empower me with inner strength through your Spirit to remain faithful to your calling throughout this day.”

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
