Sufficient Grace

Paul asked God for more, and this was the answer.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (AMP)
He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation].”

I say, More please.

God says, You already have more than enough.


“Oh, to grace how great a debtor

daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.”
Robert Robinson, 1758
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

 

Good morning, Lord. You have given me amazing grace and unfailing love. I have more than enough, more than I can ask or think. Yet here I am again, with my list of desires. And here You are, ready to listen. You are so gracious and patient with me, grant me the same grace and patience. Help me accept “Not yet” and “No” as answers.


Teach me to trust Your wisdom and not my own.
