Growing in grace and knowledge

 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18)

Lord, more than anything, I want to press into my relationship with you. To draw near to you. To access your grace in everything in my life.

Not just for forgiveness. Not just for salvation. But for everything.

I need your grace in my work. In my family. To grow in my character. To grow in love.

Teach me to walk with you moment to moment, day to day, depending not on my own wisdom and strength, but in your wisdom and resurrection power.

I want to know you, Lord. I want to know your heart. How you think. What you value.

So by your grace, Lord, draw me near to yourself. Help me to grow in your grace and knowledge. In your name I pray, amen.
