Have an abundant life – Prayer for December 9. We are new creations in Christ. God wants us to seek more out of life. He wants us to have a life of abundance.
But in God’s thinking, it has nothing to do with acquiring worldly things that will one day disappear. Instead, it’s all about what’s eternal. Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we now have a way to be reconciled with God and have eternal life with Him in heaven.
Bible Verse for Today
“and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:24)

But that is only possible if you capture the abundant life Jesus has made available to you through his death and resurrection. Otherwise, the devil will always try to take it away from you.
