Daily Prayer for December 9th, 2017

Good morning, God—thank You for this winter-like Saturday! :o)

I believe that Your son, Jesus, came to earth and lived like mankind. Despised and rejected, He was wounded for our transgressions. After major suffering, He died on the cross for our sins. On the third day You raised Him from the dead, and He is now seated with You in Heaven. Someday, I too, will get to sit with You. Because of, Christ Jesus, we who believe have been raised up, and rooted with Him in the heavenly realms. Because of Christ, Jesus, we are righteous in Your eyes. Hallelujah!! Amen.

John 3:16New International Version (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 6:28-29Amplified Bible (AMP)

28 Then they asked Him, “What are we to do, so that we may habitually be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered, “This is the work of God: that you believe [adhere to, trust in, rely on, and have faith] in the One whom He has sent.”

Ephesians 2:6New International Version (NIV)

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
