Rhythms of Grace

“If you really had faith, you wouldn’t be in this situation.”

“You must have some sin in your life or this wouldn’t’ be happening.”“Well maybe if you read your Bible more, or got into a small group, things would go better for you.”I was tired.

I was worn out.

I was looking for relief.

I was bleeding and yet, instead of receiving care for my wounds, I was being wounded more.

And the wounding was coming from the very people that were intended to support me.

Where was love?

Where was grace?

And it occurred to me that there was only One who could recovery my life. No human could take this burden from me. It was the love of the Father that could show me real healing and rest.

Walk with him today. He won’t give you anything ill fitting or burdensome.

As you learn His rhythm of grace, He will set you free.

November 16, 2024 Our prayer for our Loved One Today

Matthew 11:28-30 The Message (MSG) “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Heavenly Father, I confess to you tonight that I am tired. I am worn out. I have been wounded by the people I love. And I am at the end of myself. Lord, I know that the only recovery for my life is in you. I ask that you would give me real rest. I commit to walking with you, to working with you. Lord, show me the unforced rhythm of your amazing grace. Lord, I trust that no burden I am bearing is too heavy for me if I keep company with you. As I release this burden to you I step into a light and free life. Thank you Lord, that you have given that life to me to receive. I pray this in your son’s Holy Name. Amen
