2Samuel 16; 2Corinthians 9; Ezekiel 23; Psalms 70,71

prayer arising:

Lord I stand willingly and gladly in Your kindness, no matter where it will take me. You are my rock and my fortress - I can bear all things in You. Thank you for the cross, which covers my sins - do not let me take it cheaply. I choose, in Your Spirit, to be vindicated by You - give me the strength and the love not to seek my own vindication but to trust in You.

I decide now, joyfully, to be a giver, according to Your grace - that through my obedience to the confession of my lips thanksgiving will overflow to You.

Thak You for the cross, my friend.

Amen.
