The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church.
Through our union with Christ we too have been claimed by God as his own inheritance. Before we were even born, he gave us our destiny;
that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in his heart. - Ephesians 1:11
Heavenly Father,
With hearts full of awe and gratitude, we come before you, reflecting on the truth revealed in Ephesians 1:11. You have intricately woven our lives into the fabric of your divine plan, and we stand in awe of your sovereignty and love.
Lord, we acknowledge that our destiny is in Christ, as your Word declares. You have chosen us, called us, and predestined us for your purpose. Even before we knew ourselves, you knew us intimately. In the depths of your wisdom, you saw us, loved us, and set a path before us.
As we contemplate this profound reality, we surrender our lives anew to you. Thank you for the privilege of being part of your eternal plan. We humbly accept your purpose for our lives and trust that your ways are higher and more perfect than our own.
In moments of uncertainty, remind us that we are not alone. You have gone before us, and you are guiding us every step of the way. Your unfailing love sustains us, and your grace empowers us to walk confidently in the path you've ordained.
Help us to live with intentionality, Lord. May our thoughts, words, and actions reflect the identity we have in Christ. Let us embrace the truth that we are your beloved children, chosen and cherished by you.
Lord, we lift up those who are struggling to find their purpose or who are feeling lost and disconnected. Speak to their hearts, reminding them that their destiny is rooted in you. May they experience the reassurance of your presence and the hope that comes from knowing they are a part of your eternal plan.
In times of doubt, strengthen our faith. When challenges arise, remind us of the unshakable foundation we have in Christ. Help us to live boldly, knowing that you have equipped us with everything we need to fulfill the destiny you have set before us.
We offer this prayer with hearts full of gratitude and anticipation. Thank you for the privilege of being known and loved by you. May our lives bring glory to your name as we walk in the destiny you have prepared for us.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
