Romans 8:15-17 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Heavenly Father, we can’t fully put into words how grateful we are to belong to You. Our lives changed forever the moment we invited Christ to be our Savior. That instant brought the presence of Your Holy Spirit into our hearts, gave us a fresh start, and set us on a path full of purpose and meaning. You sealed us with Your Spirit, promising that Your love and salvation are ours forever. Lord, how can we ever truly thank You for all the amazing ways You work in our lives?
Holy God, when we follow Your Spirit, You guide us toward becoming more like Jesus. You equip us with gifts and talents to impact the world around us. You give us courage to step into life’s challenges and the boldness to come to Your throne, where we find grace and mercy when we feel overwhelmed. Your Spirit speaks for us, even when we can’t find the words to pray, lifting us up in ways we don’t always see. Father, because Your Spirit lives in us, we are priceless, unique, and beyond measure—worth more than anything this world could offer.
Lord, thank You for loving us, for giving us life, and for making us Your children. Thank You for making our hearts Your home, where Your Spirit dwells. Today, we pray that Your Spirit would guide our decisions, shape our actions, and help us show love, kindness, and courage in everything we do. May we live boldly, love deeply, and serve faithfully—just as Jesus would. In the Name of Jesus, we pray and give thanks. Amen
