Prayer for March 15-21, 2015
Ephesians 2:1-10

God of resurrection, we rejoice that You have raised us from death to new life in Christ Jesus.  We rejoice that You have freed us from the control of sin and from constant cravings that made us anxiously desire more. We rejoice that though we deserved your judgment, You have acted graciously toward us and renovated our lives so thoroughly that in Christ Jesus we have received a taste of heaven and of all the riches of grace that You have prepared for us in your renewed creation.

Thank You for saving us from demonic power, from sin, and from our own diminishing and destructive choices.  Thank You for acting for us when we were completely unable to act for our own good.  Thank You for shaping us so that our lives could be an expression of your goodness.  

We are your handiwork, your poetry.  As we live our faith each day, may the beauty that You have restored to our lives testify to the world about your generosity and love.  Amen.
