Prayer Concerns Procedure

Grace is the kindness of God to man especially bestowed upon someone undeserving favor bestowed upon sinners through Christ Jesus. "For God who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together in Christ — by grace we are saved." Grace, therefore, is that unmerited favor of God towards fallen man, whereby, for the sake of Christ—who is the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth — He has provided for man’s redemption. Grace is also regarded as the sustaining influence enabling the believer to persevere in the Chris-tian life.

JOHN 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

ROMANS 3:22-24 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Je-sus.

ROMANS 6:14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

ROMANS 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer by works, if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

EPHESIANS 1:7,8 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

EPHESIANS 2:6-9 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the in-comparable riches of his grace, expressed in kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.

II THESSALONIANS 2:16, 17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

HEBREWS 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

JAMES 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

Dear Heavenly Father,

Your loving grace is so amazing. We love you so much for showing us kindness that we do not deserve and showing us favor in life without our effort. Thank you for loving us unconditionally. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
