Not long ago I had the illusion that if I did something different, if I would have been different, if I controlled more or monitored more or played more or loved more...
that somehow I could do the saving.
But over the years I've learned that's not up to me.
There is only one that can do the saving and one who can asked to be rescued.
Scary to surrender.
But a relief to know the saving isn't up to me. And what was entirely impossible for me...Is entirely possible with God.
October 21, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Mark 10:26-27 NIV [26] The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” [27] Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
Lord, we come to you today humbled. Humbled because we've tried to do the saving and it just hasn't worked. Humbled because we realize that we don't have that kind of control or that kind of power. And humbled because we know the only hope for saving is through you. Lord, we believe in our hearts that You are the only one who can save (our loved one). And that one day, (he/she) will whisper "rescue me Lord." We recognize that without You, this is impossible, but with You ALL things are possible. Lord we thank you that You are able to bring about in (our loved one's) life what we can not. Lord we surrender (our loved one) to You. And we thank you for what you are about to do. We pray this in your Son's precious name. Amen.
