2 SAMUEL 12:13 (CEV)
David said, "I have disobeyed the LORD."
"Yes, you have!" Nathan answered. "You showed you didn't care what the LORD wanted. He has forgiven you, and you won't die."
COLOSSIANS 2:13 (NLT)
God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
In spite of all the nonsense we dish out, God forgives us and gives us new life through Christ.
PRAYER
God, you are outrageously gracious. I admit that I have a hard time receiving your forgiveness -- either because I'm unable to admit how wrong I am or that I can't fix it all on my own. Reset my life and my way of thinking so that the new life of Christ freely flows through me. I want to graciously respond to your grace. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
