A Prayer For You Today

Dear friends.

Father said JI Packer is the Christian name for God. How telling and tender God chooses to be known as our Father.

A prayer for you today.

Our Father in heaven, it is an intense joy for us to call you by that endearing name, for it is no mere empty title.

We feel the spirit of adoption in us “whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”

We feel the nature of God in us, which has been given us by the Spirit of God, the quickening, the renewal, the being born again to a living hope.

Father, we thank you, that we are your children by regeneration as well as by adoption, that we have been made partakers of the divine nature…

We revel in the thought that now it is given to us to become the (children) of God, even to as many as believe on the name of Jesus, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Help us to enjoy the sweet privileges which come to us through being introduced into your family.

May we be among the number of those who dwell in your house and never leave; who must be still praising you, because they are always within the precincts of their great Father’s house. Amen.

 —A prayer from Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

May God bless you in all things great and small.
