Nothing Fancy, Just Grace

Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!

I'm struggling to focus on God today. I have read multiple scriptures, paused my mind, and prayed, but none of these have helped. This verse is one of very few I have underlined in my Bible, and I came across it today.  It is such a good reminder for me when I start to take back control of things I have given over to God, but haven't seemed to be met to my liking.  I begin to think I can maybe do it better or faster, particularly faster, and then I de-value the cross. Today I simply need to pray for the grace of God.  No fancy words, no fancy thoughts, no fancy me.  Just a simple prayer for the Spirit to penetrate deep into my soul and grant me the grace to relinquish control once again. Alas, the broken human I am. Thanks be to the One who has set me free from the flesh and gives me life in the Spirit!
