Galatians 3:1-14Dear Father,Thank you for giving us your Spirit, not through works of law but through faith in our hearts. Even Abraham was saved by faith, for he believed you, and you counted it to him as righteousness.Thank you that Christ actually became the curse so that he could redeem us from its power, that the blessing of Abraham might come upon all nations, Jews and non-Jews, and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.Make us ever aware of the responsibilities as well as the rights which this relationship affords us.In the name of Jesus I pray.

- Alive to Righteousnesson June 29, 2025 at 7:00 am
Galatians 2:11-21Dear Father,Help us understand that in Christ we are dead to law; we have been crucified with Christ so that we might live unto you.Let Christ live within me. Let the life that I now live in the flesh be a life that I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.Don't ever let me believe anything, espouse anything, do anything that might nullify your grace or imply that Christ died in vain.Let me today, this day, and every day of my life, live from the power of Christ, live by the example of Christ, and live for the glory of Christ.In the name of Christ I pray.

- Differenceson June 28, 2025 at 7:00 am
Galatians 2:11-21Dear Father, peacemaker among brethren,When good people within your church find themselves differing on issues, may we take comfort in knowing that even Peter and Paul had their differences.Help us, like them, follow a path of integrity, confronting each other in a spirit of love. Help us, like them, be willing to admit when we are wrong.We are human; we need your help, guidance, and grace to overcome our lack of goodness and good judgment.Instill within our hearts the truth that through the works of law no one will be justified, but rather through our faith in Jesus Christ.In the name of Christ I pray. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc. This material may not be reproduced in part or whole for commercial use without written consent.

- Blessings of Faithfulnesson June 27, 2025 at 7:00 am
Galatians 1:16-2:10Dear Father,Today, Father, may the LORD Jesus meet us on our Damascus Road. May he disclose himself to us for who he is, the LORD of Glory. May he disclose to us the mission which he wants us to carry out as we seek to live for him. May we defend the purity of his gospel, that we are freely justified by his grace through faith apart from works of law. May we defend the liberty that your children have in Christ. May we never for one moment submit to programs of enslavement to try to prove our righteousness to others. And in all this may we remember the poor and care for them. Give us hearts of compassion for all who undergo privation and trouble.Thank you that even today we enjoy the blessings of the faithfulness shown by the apostle Paul at the beginning. Help us to be faithful, too, for the sake of those who will come after us.In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

- Paul's Callon June 26, 2025 at 7:00 am
Galatians 1:16-2:10Dear Father,Thank you for calling Saul of Tarsus to be your apostle to the non-Jews, and for making him known to us with his new name, Paul. Thank you for revealing to him that righteousness comes by your grace through faith without works of law and that we who are not Jews can become members of the household of faith without assuming the yoke of the law.Thank you for the integrity and courage Paul showed in defending this position in the early church. Thank you for his desire for unity with those who were apostles before him. Thank you also that he did not give in to those who wanted to limit the freedom of believers.Thank you that Peter, James, John, and the other apostles gave Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that each should pursue his appointed missions - Paul and Barnabas to non-Jews, the others to the Jews. Thank you that they agreed to remember and help the poor.In the name of Jesus I give thanks. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.
