And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.—Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT)
Merciful and Gracious God,
Let my roots grow down deeply into my Lord Jesus Christ, that I might receive all of the faith-building nourishment of truth that a life built on Him brings.
Thank You for the awesome
blessing of life forevermore that You gave to me when I accepted Christ as my Savior—and
for the compounded blessings that I experience every moment that I allow Him to
be the Lord of my life, through my obedience to Him.
Help my relationship with
Him to continue to grow deeper every day, so that I look only to Him—the One by whom all
things are held together—as the source of my life and strength.
Then as I believe Him—as I
trust in the truth that I am taught in Him—let me ever overflow with
thankfulness, so that I am not carried away by sin, but continue in that truth
that has set me free.
Let my roots grow down deeply into my Lord Jesus Christ, that I might receive all of the faith-building nourishment of truth that a life built on Him brings.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
