Our Victory Through Christ!

 

 

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

 

—Romans 8:35, 37 (NLT)

 

 

 

 

Loving Heavenly Father,

 

May I always rejoice in the knowledge that there is nothing that can ever separate me from the constant and continuous love of Christ—which never wavers, never diminishes, never fails, and never ends.

 

In the tough and troubled times of my life, help me to cling to this Truth: You will use everything that I may suffer to help me to identify more closely with Christ’s sufferings on my behalf, so I can more fully realize the depth of His love for me, and be drawn into ever closer fellowship with You.

 

Use those times of my life to help me to understand how totally dependent I am on You to provide everything I need, not only survive, but also to thrive along this journey here—as I watch You prove Your faithfulness to me, every step along the way.

 

Let me never forget that no matter what may come, I have no need to fear, for overwhelming victory is mine through Christ—who, because of His great love for me, heals my brokenness with Truth; who, through His mercy, forgives my sin and makes me completely whole; and who, out of His amazing grace, grants me abundant and eternal life with Him. 

 

May I always rejoice in the knowledge that there is nothing that can ever separate me from the constant and continuous love of Christ—which never wavers, never diminishes, never fails, and never ends.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

 

Through Suffering

 

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.  We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.  Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.—2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (NLT)

 

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Whenever I am pressed on every side by troubles, help me hold onto this Truth:  You never leave me, You never let go of my hand, and victory over this world is found in Christ—who is my strength and who has won for me eternal life.

 

In those times when it seems as if my world is falling in on me, remind me that, as hard as it is to endure, You will not allow me to be crushed—but will strengthen me through the struggle and deliver me safely through to the other side.

 

When I feel confused, perplexed, or at a loss as to how to find my way, remind me that I find my way in You—that You hold all wisdom and I don’t have to be driven to despair, because You will always show me what to do, when I ask in faith.

 

If I am ever pursued or persecuted for my beliefs, remind me that it is Your right hand that protects me and Your Spirit who tells me how to answer my accusers.

 

When I get my feet knocked out from under me, help me trust that You will pick me up and brush me off and set me on solid ground again—that in Christ, I will not be shaken and I cannot not be destroyed.

 

Remind me that in every situation I face, in every suffering I endure, Christ has already won the victory—that these are all opportunities for Him to demonstrate His power and presence in me and through me, to all those around me.

 

Whenever I am pressed on every side by troubles, help me hold onto this Truth:  You never leave me, You never let go of my hand, and victory over this world is found in Christ—who is my strength and who has won for me eternal life.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

All Your Worries and Cares!

 

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

 

—1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

 

 

 

 

Loving and Compassionate Heavenly Father,

 

Help me remember that when I give all my worries and cares to You, I am giving You a welcomed gift of my faith in Your abounding love for me.

 

May I never forget what Jesus endured on the cross so I can better understand the depth of Your love and care for me and trust You more fully with my life.

 

Show me that when I anxiously try to carry my own worries and concerns—rather than giving them over to You—I am rejecting Your love, walking away from Your care, and discounting what Christ did for me.

 

Let me never allow my circumstances to have control over me. Help me never believe the lie that what I am facing cannot be overcome by You. 

 

Help me always look to You in faith, patiently waiting for the good plans that You have made for me to unfold before me—as You work all things together for my good.

 

Help me remember that when I give all my worries and cares to You, I am giving You a welcomed gift of my faith in Your abounding love for me.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

 

The Power That Saves Me

God Cares About You!

 

 

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

—1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

Loving and Compassionate Heavenly Father,

Nothing more deeply demonstrates how much You care about me, than the truth that You sent Jesus to die in my place, and then conquered sin and death through His resurrection—so that I could find life forever through Him!

Remind me to look at what Jesus endured on the cross to help me to better understand the depth of Your love and care for me—so I might more fully trust You with my life and so that any sin of unbelief left in my heart would have to go.

Show me that when I anxiously try to carry my own worries and concerns—rather than giving them over to You and trusting You to take care of them all—I am rejecting Your love, walking away from Your care and discounting what Christ did for me.

Let me never allow my circumstances to have control over me—never believe the lie that any particular circumstance that I may find myself in cannot be overcome—and keep me on the path of life, joy and peace that You have set before me, so I can become everything You have called me to be.

May I always look to You in faith—the One who cares for me and controls all circumstances—patiently waiting for the good plans that You have made for me to unfold before me, as You work all things together for my good.

Nothing more deeply demonstrates how much You care about me, than the truth that You sent Jesus to die in my place, and then conquered sin and death through His resurrection—so that I could find life forever through Him!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
