Trying to Save Ourselves
May 10, 2024
As a church committed to praying for one another, we post this daily reminder we can all use for that purpose. It contains links to a Bible reading that if followed daily will have taken you through the entire Bible by this time next year, devotional thoughts from Our Daily Bread, and the passage upon which those thoughts are based, with a prayer inspired by that passage. We hope you will find it helpful!
Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 10-12; John 1:29-51
Today’s Our Daily Bread: Trying to Save Ourselves | Our Daily Bread (odb.org)
Devotional Passage: Ephesians 2:1-10
Prayer: We cannot thank You enough, Heavenly Father, that even though we were sinners who were by nature deserving of wrath, because of Your great love and rich mercy, You saved us by grace, making us alive with Christ, raising us up and seating us with Him in the heavenly realms in order to show the incomparable riches of Your grace, expressed in Your kindness to us in Him. As those who are saved by grace, through faith, as a gift from You, who are Your handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works that You prepared in advance for us to do, may we, in reliance upon Your grace and mercy, and the empowering of Your Spirit, be fully engaged in the kinds of good works that redound to the praise of Your glory, and His in Whose Name we pray. Amen.
