Read Romans 10–11.
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:8–10
And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
Romans 11:6
Dear God,
I have so much to be thankful for today. I thank you for being my Lord. I am thankful that you are in my heart, speaking to me throughout the day. Forgive me when I don’t listen or I shut you out. I am most thankful for your grace, the treasured gift that you give me again and again. You know all the people in my prayers today. Touch their hearts, Lord. Help them to believe and receive the grace that heals everything, the grace that supersedes all suffering, grief, disease, addiction, depression, and anxiety. Help them to declare, “Jesus is Lord!”
I love you, Papa.
