Morning After: Who can be Against Us?

Romans 8:31-32

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?



Good morning! We got hungry, yesterday. And, if you chose a 36-hour fast, you may be really ready for breakfast, right now. Being hungry makes me appreciate God's provision. I do not want. Fasting reminds me of that. I don't have to go hungry. I have a roof over my head. I have a warm, dry place to sleep. You probably do, too.

To top things off, God gave His Son for us. Think about it. That is a lot of love. With that amount of love, then lots of compassion. With compassion, a willingness to heal—when that healing brings glory to God.

So, how do we respond to God's generosity? Glorify His name. God has been there throughout Adam's recovery. We should respond with praise and thanksgiving. We should get in alignment with God's will. It isn't always easy, perhaps rarely so. But, if God is with us, who can be against us?

A Prayer

Dear Father in Heaven,
Thank you for loving us.
Thank you for sparing Adam's life.
Thank you for the healing that you have performed in Adam.
Lord, we praise Your name for the great work that You have done.

Lord, we stand in awe of You.
We are sinners.
Please forgive us of our sins.
Wash away our transgressions, with the blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Make us pure and holy in Your sight.

As forgiven sinners,
Lord, please hear our prayers.
Like the centurion in Luke 7,
We have faith.
We have faith in your ability and desire to heal.
we humbly fall before you,
and ask You to heal your servant, Adam Root.
Lord, we ask that Adam would be restored.
Dear Father, enable Adam to overcome his brain injury.
Make Adam whole.
In the name of Jesus, we pray.
Amen.

Thanks for praying with us, this week.
