Good morning, Lord Jesus. I wait in the silence, centered in Your Presence, to begin my day in the communion of prayer with You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. …
“For we are what He has made us, created in Christ for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life” (Ephesians 2:10).
I am who You have made me to be—this is my identity. I do what You have created me to do—this is my destiny. I live and move and have my being in You—this is my way of life. It’s all by Your grace, as I trust in You by faith to be Lord of all my heart, mind, soul, and strength. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—not the result of works, so that no one may boast” (v. 2:8-9).
Keep revealing to me my identity. Keep awakening within me my destiny. Keep leading me in the ways that lead to the life I can only know to the degree I’m committed to follow You. I’ve come too far to turn back now. I’ve seen too much to doubt Your truth. So give me courage to press on and passion to press in. As Your first followers came to understand in their journey of faith with you, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that You are the Holy One of God” (John 6:68-69).
So there’s nowhere else I want to go, nothing else I want to do, no one else I want to be than all that You’ve purposed in Your heart for me. I’m all in. Help me live like it—as best as I can and all by Your grace. “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I no live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:19-20). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
