“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.”—Acts 17:24-25 (NLT)
All Sufficient God,
From nothing, You created all that there is, in heaven and on earth—and You give life and breath to everything that exists and satisfy every need of Your creation.
Help me not to allow the
vain imaginations of my mind to restrict my understanding of, my acceptance of,
my experience of, or my belief in, Your all-encompassing Power and Majesty.
Help me not to forget that
You are not dependent on me in any way—that You don’t need me to help You to accomplish Your plan and purposes.
But thank You that You do allow me to be involved in the
accomplishment of those plans and purposes—when I, in willingly obedience,
submit myself to Your will for my life.
Continually fill my heart
with the knowledge that, apart from You,
I can do nothing. For You are the One
who not only breathed the breath of life into me, but are also the One who
continues to give me life with every breath I take.
Thank You for graciously and completely
satisfying my every need—so that I can live in joy and at peace—securely nestled
in Your unfailing love for me.
From nothing, You created all that there is, in heaven and on earth—and You give life and breath to everything that exists and satisfy every need of Your creation.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
