Prayer based on Romans 9

Sovereign God, we rejoice in Your plan for the salvation of Jews and Gentiles. Your promises to Your people of old have not failed, for not all of the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob according to the flesh were Your children according to the promise. Thank You for the grace of election in the lives of Your loved ones. You will have mercy on whom You will have mercy. We will not speak against You concerning Your judgments. We do not demand that we know or understand everything that You have done or everything that You will do. You will make known the riches of Your glory in all of Your great works according to Your own will and in Your own appointed time. We rejoice that some who were not viewed as Your people in former days have now been granted righteousness by faith in Your Son. Father, may we never stumble over Christ, for He is the Rock of our salvation.
