Morning Meditation: Grace - Prayer

As dawn breaks, casting golden rays through your window, take a moment to breathe in the beauty of this new day. Each morning, we are gifted a fresh start, a blank canvas upon which the brush of God’s grace paints our lives anew. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."

Imagine standing on the edge of a vast, serene lake. The still waters reflect the sky’s brilliance, reminding us that grace is like that surface—calm and deep, inviting us to dive in. We cannot earn this grace; it is freely given, a blessing that washes over us, soothing our weary souls. How often do we strive for approval, for a sense of worthiness? Yet here, in this moment, we are reminded that God's love does not come with strings attached.

In your devotional prayer today, approach God with gratitude for this unmerited gift. Seek His guidance as you navigate the swirling waters of life. Let your heart swell with awe at the thought of how deeply you are loved. As you respond to grace, allow it to transform you—shaping your actions, your relationships, and your dreams.

Let each prayer be a step toward spiritual growth, a step towards becoming a vessel of that same grace you have so freely received. Embrace the comfort and strength that comes from knowing you are loved, not for what you do, but simply for who you are in Him.
