Have you ever felt like you’ve fallen outside of God’s grace?  You’ve messed up, done something wrong, sinned against your Everything, the very One who gives you your life and breath, your true love.

It can be difficult to get back up after you’ve fallen especially when you’ve tripped yourself.  It’s easy to beat yourself up and start to believe the lies that the enemy wants you to believe.  It’s easy to stay down because it’s comfortable, it takes no effort to stay down.

I’ve fallen, and I’ve stayed down long enough to realize that if I don’t get up and run back to the arms of my Saviour then I’m just giving up on everything that His Love has accomplished for me. I would be throwing away my inheritance.  His free gift to me of His grace which He shed His very own blood to give me.

The bible says that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I realize that while I may have messed up, he jumped on that opportunity to steal my joy and excitement and to kill my dreams and destroy my relationship with God.  I refuse to give up and  instead I give in and surrender to Jesus and I cry out to Him and ask Him for a hand to help me get back up.  I don’t need to stay down – it’s a choice – I choose to trust in the love and forgiveness of God.  I don’t even have to get back up by myself because He is there to give me a hand and through His strength I am able to get back up and move forward.

If you’ve fallen and need a hand getting back up please join me in this prayer:

Dear God,

You are awesome and faithful.  You are love and I am so thankful for your mercy and grace.  Father I cry out to you in repentance for the sins that I have committed. Jesus I believe in my heart and I confess with my mouth that you are Lord and you alone have the power to save me and set me free from sin and death.  Please have mercy on me and forgive me for my sins.  Please create a clean heart in me and restore my fellowship with you.  Please fill me with your Holy Spirit and help me to walk in your will for my life.  Lord I surrender all of me to you including my emotions, my guilt, my shame and I ask that you renew me.  Please restore my joy and excitement so that I may live life with anticipation of your goodness while trusting in your promises. I love you Lord and I thank you for your forgiveness and salvation.  Please draw me closer to you Lord and please protect me from the enemy and help me to sin no more.  Thank you Lord.  In the precious name of Jesus I pray, Amen ❤
