For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Gracious God,
Thank you for saving me.
Thank you for delivering me from death, spiritual slavery, bondage to the flesh, and eternal judgment.
Thank you for allowing me to begin to experience salvation in this life,
even as I await the complete salvation that is yet to come.
Thank you for healing my wounds, softening my heart, and reorienting my passions.
Lord, continue your gracious work in me, making me more and more like Christ.
Continue to transform my thinking and feeling, my speaking and acting.
May my life reflect the reality of your salvation each day.
To you be all the glory!
Amen.
