Dear Lord Jesus,

We praise You today for the victory You have won through Your life, death, and resurrection, and we thank You that You have extended Your victory to us by Your grace.

You lived a perfect life, and by Your grace, have clothed us in Your righteousness.

You died on the cross to pay the penalty for sin. Though You had none, You died for our sin, paying the wage we deserved.

You rose from the dead on the third day, making a way for all who trust in You to live eternally, even though we die physically.

You have won the victory, and as You ascended on high, leading a host of those captivated by Your love, You have given us gifts. Though it would stand to reason that we would give You gifts, instead You have given us gifts by Your grace. You have equipped Your people for service through the work of Your Holy Spirit, and placed us in local churches all over the world. You desire to care for, encourage, and bless the world through Your work through our lives.

You have given some one gift, and others another, yet You have equipped us all for Your service. May we all now walk by faith in the ministry You want to work through us to the blessing of others.

In Your gracious name we pray - AMEN
