prayer from Galations

[FoundInGrace]

This is from an email list i get and found it helpful, sharing it in case someone else finds it good for where they're at too.



VERSE:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

-- Galatians 5:1


THOUGHT:
Grace and freedom are not a license to sin (Jude 4). In fact,
sin enslaves us; sin is addictive (John 8:34). As those for whom
the old person of sin has died and been buried with Jesus in
baptism, we are not to let sin reign over us or become our master
because we have been liberated by grace (Rom. 6:1-14). So let's
seek the power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse us (Heb. 9:14) and
powerfully liberate us from sin (Rom. 8:10-15). Let's use our
freedom to bless and build others up. Let's use our freedom to
offer our hearts and lives to the work of God!

PRAYER:
Holy and Righteous God, my Abba Father, thank you for freeing me
from the guilt and power of sin! Please empower and transform me by
your Spirit so that I can leave my sinful past behind and live a
life of character and blessing in my family, in my work, in your
church, and in your world. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
