Heavenly Father, you call me to forgive because you forgave me. The sacrifice God the Father made so that I could walk with you and live in His grace and mercy is humbling. I am so grateful for your gift of salvation and for taking the burden of my sin. Why then, Jesus, do I …
Jesus, forgive me for excluding you from the celebrations and pity parties. Remove from me my self-reliance or fear that I am not good enough to come to you. Or the lie that you are frustrated with me. Or that you think I should know better. Do not let me give the enemy an invitation …
Lord Jesus, your Peace is all around me. God’s handiwork engulfs me. Let me see it. Let me see his love and miracles in the fabric of my creation. The breeze in the trees. The bloom of the flowers. The laugh of a loved one. Remove any selfish focus on my completed tasks. Let all …
