Today’s Prayer (08/19/2021)

Our Father, who art in heaven, I come to You today in honor and praise. Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to earth, in order to save us from our sins. This was the greatest sacrifice of all. For one on Your part for sending Your only begotten Son to shed His blood and die for mankind. You didn’t have to do this but knew that it had to happen in order to end the shedding of blood through animals. Your Son, Jesus, who I also give praise, is the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world. Thank You for sending Him on our behalf, God. This must have been hard to see Your Son suffer and die on our behalf. I get choked up just thinking about what Jesus did for me. Therefore, I also give Him thanks as I give You thanks this day and forever. You are my God and I worship You. Lord Jesus, thank You for saving a wretch like me. The blood You shed on the cross has covered my sins and I am able to look forward in faith. Not that I have done anything on my own, but that You have given me the power to resist temptation and live a new life for You. In my flesh, I am not worthy of what You want to do with me here on earth and in heaven. Only as I walk in the Spirit are things different. Your presence is near and I am able to do much more than I ever thought was possible. There is true hope and a new beginning found in You, God. It is my prayer that others will also find You and put their whole trust in You and be saved. You have touched my life and I love You. Thank You, God. I honor and praise You. Amen.

Revelation 4:1-3

Revelation 4:1-3 (KJV)
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
