“…for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’” Acts 17:28 NKJV

Father…

I’ve come to a situation that’s difficult to face,
so I ask of you, God, to sustain me with your grace.

Thank you for your grace…much of it may be needed
before this problem’s “flooding” will have receded.

But if it’s prolonged, I’ll keep drawing from your supply
of divine grace upon grace to help me get by.

Thanks for bountiful grace, poured into my being.
I’ve found it’s your grace (and Word) that is absolutely freeing.

…in and through your Son, Jesus’ name, I pray….

P. A. Oltrogge

“I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91:2 NKJV

“For out of His fullness (the superabundance of His grace and truth) we have all received grace upon grace (spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift).” John 1:16 AMP

“But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.” Romans 3:21-26 NIV

“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 NKJV

“I know how to get along and live humbly (in difficult times), and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret (of facing life), whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need. I can do all things (which He has called me to do) through Him who strengthens and empowers me (to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.)” Philippians 4:12-13 AMP

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” …words of Jesus in Luke 10:19 NKJV

Be reminded today of the believer’s new and righteous identity in Christ and declare it regularly.

…and thank you, Father, for your very special comfort, grace, and protection upon those living in areas of conflict, and upon those going to assist the people. Though we’ve read and heard of adverse reports, we thank you for those that are encouraging; and we pray, trust, and know that you and the angels are greatly at work to answer prayers….
