Ephesians 2:4-5
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved
Colossians 2:6-7
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Alive in Christ
Christians live in this world, their allegiance is to heaven

dear lord,
God, my Father,
may I love You in all things and above all things.
may I reach the joy which You have prepared for me in heaven.
nothing is good that is against Your Will,
and all that is good comes from Your Hand.
place in my heart a desire to please You
and fill my mind with thoughts of Your Love,
so that I may grow in Your Wisdom and enjoy Your Peace
in this I pray
amen
Amen
