To pray for grace is to show a limited understanding of God’s true nature. It is His very nature to pour Himself into His creation as Outstreaming Good Will. It is His pleasure to give of His Kingdom to all who will receive. To receive, we have only to be aware of His Presence, Power and Wisdom as All there is and All there can be.
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul tell of God’s plan as it was revealed to the apostles and prophets by the Holy Spirit. “When I think of the wisdom and scope of his plan, I fall down on my knees and pray to the Father of all the great family of God…that out of his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you the mighty inner strengthening of his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all of God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself.” Ephesians 3:14,15 TLB
Thank You, Most Wondrous God for Your Grace that is our sufficiency. Amen.
