Here is an excerpt of what I just wrote in my journal about grace- it's written from the viewpoint of me talking to God.
How do You respond in grace?
Your grace is sufficient for me... so very exceedingly for me.
I didn't respond in grace tonight, even though I have been freely given grace.
Until I learn how to give grace in moments and seasons of trying and testing, I will have to learn to better walk in humility and ask for forgiveness. EVEN if both are at fault, and the other does not ask me for forgiveness. (Oh boy!) I still choose to take the lower route, I choose to forgive without being asked to forgive.
Here is a prayer I prayed, and one that you too can pray:

Here is a prayer I prayed, and one that you too can pray:
"Lord, Your grace abounds in me...
Whatever it takes, teach me, mold me, break me, refine me, restore me and make me like You...
I desire to never respond in anything less than the way You always respond to me- full of grace, truth and love.
Thank You, Lord, for grace, and for the grace to give grace!
I love You, and I just want to be like You."
Grace is a process. More often that not, it's a process. Give yourself grace and lean on the Lord. You never need to run out of God's grace- there is no such thing as an outage of God's grace. THERE IS SO MUCH GRACE- forevermore!
Blessings to you today, in the name of Jesus. All that the enemy intends for evil, the Lord turns around and works for greater good than you can ever imagine. So surrender, trust the Lord and freely give God's grace, as He has freely given you grace.
