And yet you say,
‘I have done nothing wrong.
Surely God isn’t angry with me!’
But now I will punish you severely
because you claim you have not sinned.
LUKE 23:42 (NLT)
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

PRAYER
Merciful God, I'm grateful for the forgiveness that Christ secured on the cross and validated through the resurrection. Of course, there are still issues in my life that I haven't yet owned up to. For my sake help me to turn to you and acknowledge that I need your ongoing mercy. My sin gets old but your mercy refreshes me everyday. Amen.
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 in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
