Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer this line from Martin Luther.

“Grace does not so change the believers so that they immediately become new creatures, perfect in every aspect.”

James 1:4
New King James Version

⁴ But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and worships You.  Bless You, for sending us Your Holy Spirit so we can experience the fruit of patience which makes way for You to complete the good work which You have started in us. Praise the heart change and fresh desires we have for You that empower us to hold fast to You and accept Your will rather than our own. Thank You for the forgiveness You provide when we end up grabbing hold of the things of the world and the flesh rather than sitting at Your feet. Remind us that in Christ we truly lack nothing and can rest in full assurance of Your promises knowing Your faithfulness is unshakable. Father, we thank You that You have heard us. Amen in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
