In this Worldwide Prayer message, Josiah DeRoos walks through Ephesians 1 and reminds us that forgiveness, acceptance, meaning, and spiritual strength are not rewards we earn by trying harder. They are gifts we receive through faith in Christ. Many people live under shame, fear, pressure, or the constant feeling that they still need to prove themselves to God. But Jesus has already made peace on our behalf. This message is an invitation to stop living from spiritual lack and begin living from what Christ has already accomplished—to let go of condemnation, receive God’s acceptance, rediscover your value, and trust the power of the Holy Spirit at work within you.
