Praying with Paul: 'Heirs of Abraham'

Galatians 3:1-14

Dear 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. Amen.
