Prayer:

"Thank You, God, for the cross. Thank you for loving me and giving yourself up for me. Thank you that I can live in you. Thank you that I am a new creation. That I am not haunted by who I have been, what I have done. But that every day is an invitation to the Christ-life. Help me to trust in the finishing work of the Cross.

Jesus, my Savior, my King,
the Lamb of God
the image of the Father
I confess that I often trade your yoke
for the burden of the law.
As if I can earn your grace.
Lord, I remember the work of the cross.
I trust in You,
impart your spirit in and through me
may every breath I take
be yours.
May every movement,
be yours.
Live in and through me.
May it be so.
In Your name, I pray,
Amen.
