Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

10 Days of Prayer - Day 2

The 10 Days of Prayer for Rooted in Faith, Growing in Giving continue. Thank you for joining the congregation on this journey of faith!

Day 2 Tuesday, October 25th - Gratitude to God for God's grace and blessings
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits - who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. - Psalm 103:1-5

Thank God for all the blessings God has showered upon you. Be specific. List important things first, and then get to possessions. Ask God to guide you in your use of these blessings - your time, your talents, and your treasure. Consider areas in which you face challenges giving God credit for your blessings. Ask for special help in these.
