(Christ) carried in his own body on the cross the sins we committed. He did this so that we might live in righteousness, having nothing to do with sin. By his wounds you were healed. ~ 1 Peter 2:24 (CEB)
Kind God, we are broken and gross people. We still act contrary to you and your will. We still create problems for ourselves and blame others. Because we are self-centered we do mean things to people -- even our own brothers and sisters in Christ. I think that I create more work for you than I'm worth. Fortunately, you don't think that way. Thank you for the ongoing treatment that you are applying to my life to bring healing of both me and those I injure. I need to trust you to make things whole again because it is certainly beyond me. So, I am going to trust in your incredible healing power -- the healing power that defeats sin and death. Amen.
