In Need of God
"What great blessings there are for the people that know they
have spiritual needs! The kingdom of heaven belongs to them."
-- Matthew 5:3 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
The Kingdom family is made up of people who know they have deep
spiritual needs. When we come into the presence of God, we are awed
into a profound sense of humility in his presence as well as a deep
conviction of our lack of holiness and character before his majesty.
While we deeply want to be like our Father, we recognize that our
greatest sacrifice and efforts to live Godly lives cannot make us
worthy to approach God. Yet God urges us to come to him. So we come,
but with humility and thanksgiving, knowing that it is only by his
grace and Jesus' gift that we can come.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy and majestic God, I come to you, unworthy to even speak in your
presence, yet you graciously welcome me as your child. Thank you for
the many ways you have blessed me and filled my life with joy, meaning,
and hope. All that I have that is good has come because of your
blessing. Your strength and mercy have given me the ability to face the
difficulties and tragedies of my life. My hopes and dreams are in your
hands. Thank you for caring for me. In the precious name of Jesus I
pray. Amen.
