HOW DO WE FIND THE GRACE OF GOD?

HOW DO WE FIND THE GRACE OF GOD? I don't know about you But I count on The GRACE OF GOD To get me through The trials of life Without it I just don't know Where I am going In life “He is Like a tree PLANTED near running water That yield its fruit In due season And whose leaves NEVER FADE” Psalm 1:3 I count on God To water my FAITH Each and every day Of my life GRACE comes to us In all sorts of ways One way-is PRAYER We need to pray every day To pray us CLOSE TO GOD And we need To have a routine To pray every day At the same time- If at all- possible FINDING GRACE “Answer me-when I call to you My righteous God Give me relief From my distress Have mercy on me And hear my prayer” Psalm 4:1 “The Lord Has heard my cry For mercy The Lord Hears my prayer” Psalm 6:9 And we NEED To surround ourselves With other people who PRAY As often as possible We need to go- To MASS-and/or church service As much as possible And get INVOLVED in a group Or bible study We CANNOT Do life alone And we need to be In FELLOWSHIP With one another That helps us FIND GRACE TOGETHER Like the tree Near running water We must PLANT ourselves Near to WHERE the grace flows “You are The most excellent of men (and women) And your lips Have been anointed with GRACE Since God Has BLESSED you forever” Psalm 45:2 “We have peace With God Through our Lord Jesus Christ Through him We haven GAINED ACCESS By faith-into the GRACE Which we now stand” Romans 5:2 I FIND That the more We work at it Through prayer-fellowship And reading the bible The MORE GRACE we find Our SPIRITUAL LIFE grows In direct proportion To how much effort WE make For We will never find grace Unless- We WATER the roots That is HOW We find grace IN today's world Robert P.
