A GraceHead Prayer for TheseTimes

A friend of mine, who continues to grow in the grace of God, sends me prayers from time to time. I thought this one was exceptional and added some extras. The next time you feel yourself at the business end of deadly tradition, pull this one up.

Father,

Sometimes we exchange the freedom You gave us in Christ, for the traditions of men. When we do, we get in trouble and we defend ourselves by pridefully depending upon our own power.

Because our strength is never enough, we become overwhelmed. Thank you for the conviction of the Holy Spirit, who moves us to repentance of such foolishness and sets us upon the right path again

By Your power through Your Son, You freed us from death - the curse of the Law and of man-made traditions. Strengthen us to resist discrediting You, when we're tempted to abandon the freedom Jesus bought at so great a price.

Thank you Father, that we are freed from living in fear and lies, in timidity and bondage, in sin and ignorance.

Thank you Father, that You have blessed us with every blessing Your children need. We have been so richly and abundantly blessed for all eternity in Christ Jesus.

Amen

Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day in the Lord Jesus Christ, and let His light shine brightly through you.

-- Bud --

Hey, Bud!
That was a blessing. Thanks for posting it.

""... we defend ourselves ...""

That is so true, yet we never need to defend anything, even ourselves. Defensivness is a waste. Why defend what Jesus saw as worthy of crucifixion? That which is not fit for the grave (the Spirit,) never needs our defenses. Rather we need the Spirit of Truth to defend us, not the other way around.

Perhaps another fine t-shirt design would be:
"Truth
Defender
Defends me"
