Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Thank you for your grace. Thank you that you are a God of ultimate power and salvation to everyone that believes. Father, we neglect your salvation so often. We refuse to realize how important – how necessary your salvation is.

You loved the world so much that you went to the cross for us. Give us love for our neighbors. Give us wisdom to know how to bring the grace that cost you so much to our neighbors.

Touch our neighbors with your grace. Call them with your holy spirit. Allow them to know your holy presence and their need for you. Put us in the right place with the right words to share you. Give us boldness and speech that honors you.

Help us believe and walk in your salvation.
In your name,
amen
