Grace Over Performance

A Prayer for remembering grace upon grace

---

For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift]. - John 1:16 (AMP)

Performance, ability, success, greatness, prosperity, endurance all come through grace.

Grace is a power that frees you from centering yourself and your actions, your failure or your success.

Instead, God's grace allows you to center Jesus’ finished work at the cross, by which you were made free, victorious, highly favored, blessed indeed, well-able, and filled with all spiritual gifts.

Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with fullest confidence, that we may receive mercy for our failures and grace to help in the hour of need. - Hebrews 4:16 (PHILLIPS)

God, give me the grace to keep going.

Give me the grace to succeed.

Give me the grace to take every step, move through every day, and conqueror any task or situation.

Give me the grace to stand still.

Give me the grace to wait for you.

Give me the grace to hear your words speaking louder than my feelings or my own mind.

Give me the grace to rest, break, take that deep breath, sleep deep and long through the night.

Give me the grace to remember your work and that grace and mercy are always following me.

This is Your work You want us to do. So please give us Your mind and grace to do it.

In Jesus’ name, we thank You for it. Amen!

May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. - 2 PETER 1:2 (AMPC)
