Saved by Grace
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.—Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.—2 Chronicles 21:20 (ESV)

Dear Lord, help me live my life guided by Your love. Help me prepare my heart so that I will follow You every step of the way.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.—Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)
