A Prayer about Remembering the Spirit’s Power
Spirit of the Living God,
Forgive us for forgetting you.
If it weren’t for you making our hearts alive,
we would never have followed Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5; Ezekiel 36:26-27).
And now, as we seek to live a life of love and obedience to God,
we so often try to run in our own strength,
forgetting that it is by your power alone—
your help, your energy, your counsel,
your wisdom, your prayer, your renewal,
that we are enabled to grow
in our delight and service to God.
Hel[p us to remember that by your work
we are united to Christ—
Christ in us, we in him,
and through that gracious union,
we are justified, having inherited “the hope of eternal life.”
Help us to remember that it is only
because of your regenerating work,
we now “devote ourselves to doing good” (Titus 3:8).
In your power we pray. Amen.
Read Titus 3:3-8; Ephesians 2:1-10; Ezekiel 36:26-27.
