A reserve of goodness inside every person

Share grace freely instead of keeping score

Wait until others deserve kindness before giving it

Treat grace as a private resource to protect

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and that I cannot give myself the grace I need. I turn from my sin and ask you to forgive me. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord, and I ask you to fill my life with your saving grace. Amen.

Receive the Giver of Grace

Lord, pour your fullness into your Church again. Where we have grown dry, proud, or stingy, make us people who keep receiving and keep giving. Fill us with humble gratitude, living mercy, and a generosity that points others to you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Your Church with Fresh Grace

Bring these to God: the gifts you have already received but may have overlooked; moments where he met you again after you thought you were empty; the quiet mercy that has kept coming. Give thanks for each one.

Thank You for What Has Already Been Given

Pray by naming one place where you feel spiritually empty, ask Christ to supply what you cannot make for yourself, then ask for one way to receive his grace with trust today.

Ask for Fresh Supply

Lord, let your grace reach someone weary, ashamed, or running dry. Meet them with the fullness that is in Christ, and help them receive what they cannot earn. Let them know your kindness again, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Grace for the Weary

Bring these before God: a habit of self-reliance you need to loosen; one person who needs grace from you this week; and a desire to live as someone who receives from Christ before trying to give to others.
