Dear Lord,

I know that I have sinned against you in so many ways, forgive me, please.  You could have let me die, but you saved me.  You could have let me drown, but YOU rescued me from it.  I am shedding old things off and I am refueled by your grace and mercy.  No matter what people might say about me, I know that you look past all my faults and see my needs.  I know You forgive if I confess my sins unto You.  So here I am, empty and needing to be filled with Your strength.  Renew me, rejuvenate me, purge me, teach me Your will. I am laying my will down for Yours –this is not easy but I know I can’t make it without You.  You are my Savior.  You loved me before I could know what love is.  Your love is my strength to fight another day.

Thank you, In Jesus Name, Amen.

People of God, we have come to a realization that we need God’s forgiveness.  The stuff we hold on to is heavy and weighs us down in depression, regret, guilt, frustration.  God is standing to give us forgiveness.  Forgive yourself.

Today’s Scriptures:

Isaiah 1:18 NLT “Come now, let’s settle this,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.

Hebrews 12:1 NLT Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
