“The Spirit of God gives real life that mere human power cannot.” (John 6: 63)

Father,

You are life and you give me life,

In a way that I can never give myself.

Thank you for the life you have given me,

And the assurance that it will never end.

Amen

“This is God’s will, that I will lose none of those he has given me.  And on the last day, I will raise each one to new life forever.” (John 6: 39)

Lord,

Thank you that you will never lose me,

Nor will you ever let me go.

And for assurance that the end is really the beginning,

Of real life that goes on forever.

Amen

“Everyone the Father gives me will come to me.  And whoever comes to me I will never turn away.” (John 6: 37)

Father,

Thank you for calling me,

And for accepting me.

And for the assurance you will never reject me,

Or let me go.

Amen

“Jesus said, ‘The bread God is giving you, is the one who comes from heaven and gives life to the whole world.”‘ (John 6: 32-33)

Father,

Thank you for the true life you give me,

The life you offer to everyone.

For your life gives real life now,

And it’s a life which never ends.

Amen

“Jesus answered, ‘The only works God requires is simply to trust in the one he sent.'” (John 6: 29)

Father,

Thank you for your grace that forgives me,

And your love which accepts me.

I trust in the one you sent to save me,

And accept the grace you offer me.

Amen
