Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love.
—2 John 1:3 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your assurance that grace, mercy and peace will continue to be with me, if I live in truth and love.
You are God my Father, the
giver of grace, mercy and peace through your Son, Jesus Christ—and You freely
give these precious gifts to those who choose to live in truth and in love.
And that absolute truth and
love which I must live in, I find revealed in Your written Word and in Your
Word made flesh—in the person of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior—who is Your greatest
expression of love and truth .
So, save me from the lies of the enemy which would try to convince me that there is no truth, or that truth is defined by a person’s personal preferences—and help me always look to You, as the ultimate standard by which everything should be judged.
And should I ever find my peace disrupted, Your mercy for me in question, or feel as though Your grace to me is running low, remind me to look to see if I have walked away from truth and love—and bring me back to Your Word that I might be restored.
Help me to let Your truth and love—Your eternal Word—always remain in me as my source of life, and forever overflow from deep within me to those around me.
Thank You for Your assurance that grace, mercy and peace will continue to be with me, if I live in truth and love.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
