Heavenly Father I praise You for all You have done in my life. For giving me the desire to pursue and eventually capture my wife's attention. I sought her long before she decided I was right for her. Even after 35 years I still seek time with her as often as possible. I praise You for building within me the idea of seeking what is good and desiring what is right and in the right way.
Holy Spirit Your word says, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.” It also says, “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.” [Luke 19:10; Romans 3:11] I am so happy that God sought and sought us and that He sent Jesus to save us and sent the Holy Spirit to continue the pursuit of a relationship with us. For we are not wise enough to do this on our own. Help me to appreciate just how much Your love has been towards me and how precious the gift of salvation is.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Amen. [Romans 15:13]
