God wants to give us grace - Liz Matheson

Reading through the new testament books or letters of the bible, Paul, Peter or whoever is writing, always say, 'may the Lord give you grace and peace'. God wants to give us his grace and peace in everything we do, in other words his unconditional love and power to do what we need to do, and more, and his peace that comes from trusting Him.

In my new job I've had the cosy, first week induction and now I'm out in the real world actually doing the job and I'm out of my comfort zone in many ways. Reading 1 Timothy 1 this morning, again Paul says, 'May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace'. I also read the scripture, where it says, 'For I hold you by your right hand— I, the LORD your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.' I thank God He holds our hand and helps us like a parent with their child on the first day of school, when we are out of our depth, in whatever way, He is there.

I pray the same for you today, his grace and peace in all situations.
