More Grace

Let us seek Jesus for more grace, that our lives may be more consistent, and more in accordance with the Spirit of Christ. Christ gives us grace, and His grace leads us to ask for more and more grace. Of Christ's fulness have we received, and grace for grace. God's grace makes us long for more grace. Seek grace so that you may live the life Christ has asked you to live here on earth. At the foot of Jesus' dear Cross, give yourself to Jesus, ask Him to give you more grace, that you may live more to His honor, and spend and be spent for His service. Grace is divine help from God.

Come to the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ for more of His strength and wisdom. We need more grace so we can bravely avow the Lord in the hour of persecution. Pray for more grace, more piety, more love for souls, more care for the kingdom of Christ. You cannot serve God without His grace. You cannot give God true praise, or true prayer, or true service, or anything that is acceptable, unless God gives you His grace to do so. God's grace makes a man more active for the Gospel, the more grace he has, the more energetic he becomes in winning souls from sin. Long for more grace to serve Jesus with, and more consecration to His service. More grace is your greatest need. I want nothing more but divine grace with which to bless and fear the Lord all the day long. *Proverbs 23:17* O for more preventing grace. *Psalm 19:13* *Psalm 119:176*

O for more grace and less worry, more praying and less fretting, more believing and less speculating. If I must behave myself wisely in a perfect way, I must have more grace from Jesus Christ. The more grace a man has the lower he lies before God. Desire more grace, more holiness, more love, more communion with Christ and Holy Ghost. God will always give you grace; He will never deal with you upon the ground of human merit. Hope to the end for the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. I need more of God's grace, or I will fail every time. More grace involves more trials and conflict with your sins and this world. Lord, increase my faith, give me more grace and gratitude. The more grace we have, the better. You need more grace than you think you do, for something is going to happen in which you will need great grace. Get more grace, because you can have it, and you will need it in resisting temptation. Justifying, pardoning, adopting grace has brought me into the family of God.

If you have no talents, get all the more grace, for grace is most essential in the service of God. Open your mouth wide, and God will fill it. You'll need more grace to lead than to follow. No man can give out what he has not received. The grace of God is satisfying. We must live upon grace; grace every trial, grace for every duty, grace for every sin. Sin is the saint's insidious enemy. The thirst for sin can only be quenched by the grace of God. Humble trust in Christ's atoning Sacrifice, and an eager desire for more grace and childlike love for God. The LORD will give grace and glory.

By the grace of God I am what I am. Onward to more grace and holiness. Humility is the grace that attracts more grace. If you would have much grace have much humility. God assists the humble, but He resists and fights against the proud. He who has most grace is most conscious of his need of more grace. I need more grace to more grace to help me with my dirty thoughts and impure motives. The heavier your difficulties and trials, the more grace you need. Cling the more closely to Jesus when your burdens and troubles of life come.

The more grace a man has, the more he will loathe and mourn over his sins; this sets him longing and thirsting after more and more grace. Grace is only for the undeserving, the guilty, the needy. Grace forgives the sins for those who are bankrupt and unable to pay. Prove your love to Jesus, try to be useful and profitable, and ask for more grace. Lord, give me more grace, help me to love Jesus better, and to be more like Him. Christ died for sinners, the Lamb of God bled for the ungodly, whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. Grace is in a man's heart who groans after more grace. The man who has the grace of God longs for more. God give us grace continually, and deliver us from everything like hatred, envy and strife. More grace is great remedy and recipe for all that we need. If you want more grace, plead the Precious Blood of Jesus for it. God, give me more grace, direct me, subdue my sins. You need daily grace for daily needs. The only way to get more grace is to ask God for it.

Ask, seek, knock always for more of God's grace. Be conscious that all that God has done by you in the past does not qualify you to do anything without Him now, you must still lean entirely upon His grace and strength now as much as ever. Ask for more grace that you may be honest with God. Unless we get more grace, we shall not have more souls won with 500 people than with five. The more grace we have, the more the need of grace is felt. You need God's Grace to make use of your talents for Him. Beseech the Lord Jesus to give you more grace. Give me more grace, Lord, quicken Thou me in Thy way. As thy days, so shall thy strength be. He giveth more grace. *James 4:6*
