Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us.
Romans 5:1

The most amazing truth to remember today! 'The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.' John 1:14
When Christ taught his church to “earnestly desire” the gift of prophecy, he wasn’t trying to confuse us. He was preparing us for blessing. https://t.co/lJuGAvRDff
The Lord remembers us and will bless us:
He will bless his people Israel,
May the Lord cause you to flourish,
both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 115

“We were made not primarily that we may love God…but that God may love us, that we may become objects in which the Divine love may rest “well pleased.” To ask that God’s love should be content with us as we are is to ask that God should cease to be God.”
#CSLewis
Prayer is communication with God but it’s also communion with ‘I Am’. It is asking but also being, faith but also trust, wrestling for a blessing but resting in the present - in the Presence - too.
