The yelling, the shaming, the anger, the chaos. The crazy things I’ve done on this journey in my selfish efforts to change my loved one.
The mistakes along the dusty path.
But there is grace.
My heart’s desire today is that I would become a better version of myself. Walking in love and overflowing with that marvelous grace.
And as I experience the unfolding beauty of all that He gives me, my hope is that I would reflect that to my loved one.
SO that he would experience the miracle of His marvelous grace.
February 4, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
1 Peter 1:13-15 TPT [13] So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you[14] As God's obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn't know better[15] Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you.
Almighty Father, we come before you today because you are holy and powerful and loving. We believe that your grace is greater than all of our failures and mis-steps. Lord, we pray on behalf of [our loved one] today, that even now you are molding and preparing [our loved one’s] heart and mind for the glorious unfolding in front of [him/her]. Lord, we pray that you would set [our loved one's] mind on the hope that your grace in Jesus Christ brings. We pray that [our loved one] would let go of the desires that come from living [his/her] old life, a life of pain and suffering. We believe that you have called [our loved one] to become like you in every way. We pray these words in the confidence that they will be full-filled swiftly. In Jesus Holy Name we pray! Amen
