You put our sins right in front of you,
set our hidden faults in the light from your face.
MATTHEW 6:12 (ABP)
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God exposes our sin so that it can be forgiven.
DAILY FODDER
Is there sin in your life that needs to be exposed so that the light of Christ's forgiveness can touch it? How might that "exposure" occur in the least painful way?
PRAYER
Great Forgiver, you seek out my hidden sins and expose them to the light. Instead of allowing your children to die, you sent your Son as our placeholder, a sign of the greatest forgiveness. I pray that I may be quick to forgive others, knowing that I have been forgiven of so much through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
