Dear Father God,

I thank You that You are the Rock of 

my salvation...

The Lord lives!

Blessed be my Rock!

Let God be exalted,

The Rock of my salvation!

2 Samuel 22:47

I thank You that my life can be built upon Your strong foundation, as Jesus taught us...

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

The rain came down, the streams rose,

and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Matthew 7:24-25

Please help build my life on Jesus to that I can weather my life's storms, to keep looking to You, and to be Your grateful child.

Please help me to trust Jesus with my life, based upon the firm foundation that I have in Jesus...

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:11

I pray that You will strengthen me and keep my feet steady on Your solid ground.

I pray that I and my loved ones will be committed to You and that we will live lives that glorify You and that bless others.

Please replace my grumbling and complaining with an attitude of gratitude toward You.

In the saving name of Jesus I pray,

Amen.

Jesus: The Salvation of God

For my eyes have seen Your salvation.

Luke 2:30

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 

Luke 3:6

Jesus is called the Salvation of God, a title first given to Him in Isaiah 52:10. Simeon, an old man waiting in the Temple for the Messiah, called the baby Jesus the Salvation of God (Luke 2:30). Then John the Baptist, when preaching in the wilderness, called Jesus the Salvation of God (Luke 3:6). Notice, Jesus “had come from God” (John 13:3); therefore, Jesus brings salvation from God to Earth.

Lord Jesus, I thank You for coming into this world with salvation from the Father. I thank You for bringing salvation to me.

Jesus is the Salvation of God from your past sins; they cannot be charged against you. Jesus is the Salvation of God from your present sins; so don’t be an addict to sin nor let the power of sin keep you in bondage, for Jesus is the Salvation of God for all sins. “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). You must deal with all sin—past, present and future—according to 1 John 1:9, which shows the progression from confession to forgiveness to cleansing. And finally, Jesus is the Salvation of God who will remove us from the very presence of any sin in eternity. There is coming a day when we’ll live in Heaven, never to struggle with the sin problem again.

Jesus, You are my Salvation of God. I claim You for total salvation in every area of my life. Save me now, and save me in the future. 

Amen.
