We need God!

 

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. 

⏤  2 Corinthians 12:9

Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected. 

⏤ Jonathan Edwards

We need God's blessing! Just as the Earth needs the sun and rain, we also need blessings from God, we need it for our life and soul. God's grace, love, mercy, and forgiveness is what helps us get through this Earth School journey. We need God! 

The Mornings with God App today had a nice write-up, Bible verse, and prayer today. The App said, "O God, our Father, we, Your children, come to You for a blessing. Just as the earth needs the sun and rain from Heaven—so do our lives need Your grace, love, and life. We cannot live without You. Without blessings from You—our souls would die. Pour upon us Your grace and love as we bow at Your feet. We have duties to fulfill today, and we need wisdom to do them well. Please bestow upon us the grace that will prepare us for whatever You have planned for us. Help us to live together as a family in a way that honors You. Deepen our love for each other, and help us to be patient and kind in all our interactions. Help us to love like You do. Fill our hearts with Your love—then we will love truly. Destroy all selfishness in us and give us the mind of Christ Jesus. Help us to bear one another's burdens and to be patient with one another. Make our home more and more like Heaven. May we do Your will here as it is done in Heaven. May our love be like Heaven's love in its purity, tenderness, sincerity, and fellowship. Give us the grace to help each other grow spiritually, to make each other holier, and to encourage each other to love and good works. May we be a means of grace to one another. This morning, we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, that we may receive a new baptism of love as we go out for the day. Keep us from falling along the difficult way. Let no harm come to us. Shield us from temptation—or strengthen us to resist it. Bring us all home safely at nightfall when the day is done. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

We need to thank God! We need to follow, reflect, and imitate Jesus! We need to pray for the Holy Spirit to live in us and lead and guide us in this Earth School journey. We are here to be holy, to be like God's love, pure, tender, sincere, and upright. Dear Jesus, please help us to love like You do. Fill our hearts with Your love—then we will love truly. Destroy all selfishness in us and give us the mind of Christ Jesus! We need you!
