Something Different for May - Day 1

For the month of May, I will be sharing a 31-day prayer challenge from crosswalk.com.
**********************************************************************
Day 1 - Romans 1:1-7 NLT

This letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, chosen by God to be an apostle and sent out to preach his Good News. God promised this Good News long ago through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures. The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life, he was born into King David’s family line, and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.

And you are included among those Gentiles who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ. I am writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God and are called to be his own holy people.

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. 

Prayer for Day 1

Jesus,
          I’m Your servant, set apart for Your gospel. In humanity, You’re descended from King David; through Your Spirit of holiness You’re the Son of God! You proved this powerfully when You rose from the dead, giving grace to all who belong to You. May Your grace and peace flow through me today. 
Amen!
