Your reputation is on the line.
Pull us out of this mess, forgive us our sins—
do what you’re famous for doing!
LUKE 24:47 (MSG)
...a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in his name to all nations...
THE ESSENCE
Forgiveness of sins is an essential dimension of Jesus' Good News.
DAILY FODDER
When we recognize and accept the forgiveness that God gives us, that changes how we live. If there is no change, it means we haven't yet groked our sinfulness nor desire to let go of it.
PRAYER
Gracious God, you have a reputation for forgiving all who turn to you with the entirety of their lives. I need that forgiveness because there are still aspects of my life that fail to align with your plan. Transform my life so that it may become a witness of your mercy and grace to the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.

Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
