“Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation-if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.” Colossians 1:21-23
Lord Jesus, keep me firm in the faith. There are so many things that seek to move me from this foundation. I see the busyness of life and the distractions of this life taking my eyes off of you. It is not something that happens to me consciously, but it is so hard for me to still my mind and focus my heart on you. As soon as I sit down to meditate, to pray, or to study your word 1000 other things flood my mind. My phone rings. My email inbox fills up. My schedule fills up. These things alone take me off of the solid foundation of your Word. In my busy and hectic life, keep me grounded, founded and rooted in your finished work for me. I have a perfect standing in God’s sight because of you. Nothing happening on earth can make that standing more sure. Nothing happening on earth can make that standing less sure. Keep me standing here and do not let anything move me from it. Amen.
Nothing happening on earth can make my standing with God more sure. Nothing happening on earth can make my standing with God less sure. Christ has made my standing fully sure and guaranteed.
