Sunday Prayer: Awe and Gratitude


Gracious Father,

I come before You in awe and gratitude, for while I was still weak—lost in sin and far from You—Christ died for me. Not because I earned it, not because I was righteous, but because of Your overwhelming love and mercy. You sent Your Son to die for the ungodly, to rescue all of humankind when we could not rescue ourselves.

Thank You for the cross, for the blood that justifies me, and for the reconciliation I now have through Jesus. I rejoice that I am no longer Your enemy, but Your beloved child, brought near by the sacrifice of Christ. Help that truth sink deep into my heart and shape the way I live each day.

Help me to live in the joy of my salvation, to walk in the confidence of Your love, and to share the Gospel with a world still longing for hope. May I never take for granted the grace that saved me and the peace I now have with You through King Jesus.

In His mighty name I pray,

Amen.
