Spend time in prayer
Take time to praise God for what you see in this passage – you can use this as a prompt.
Father, while I was yet a sinner, you sent your son to die for me. You give me an opportunity to know and receive you even when I am so undeserving. You put a path before me that allows me to walk closer to you. You make a way for me to establish roots in you and offer the chance to grow deeper in you.
I praise you, Lord, for you are good. Your mercy endures forever. When I am unable on my own to develop the walk with you that I long for, you make a way for it to happen. You offer your Spirit to lead me, and you give me strength in my faith.
In the same way you do this for me, I see that you do so for all those that I love. I praise you for giving me a way to walk with you, for offering strength and developing my faith in a way that leads to thanksgiving. I praise you through Jesus, amen.
