Prayer from June 17, 2019

Holy Father, 

You are the one and true Living God.
Jesus, thank you for the cross! 
Thank you for your great love for me that even in my sin and rejection of you, You still lived a righteous life and died as a righteous man to atone for my sin and shame.

Father, thank you for this time with friends. 

Jesus, I ask forgiveness for my hardened heart and quick judgments of people with whom I disagree. 
Forgive me for my careless and casual words. 
Forgive me for creating and believing lies and so deceiving myself about who you are and who I am.
Forgive me for my lack of faith and lack of courage.

May I be bold for your sake and the sake of your great name.

"May the Lord direct your heart into the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ."
--2 Thessalonians 3:5

amen
