Prayer:

 Merciful and gracious God. Thank You that You love me despite my sinfulness. Thank You for extending Your mercy to a sinner like me and graciously giving me so much that I do not deserve. Forgive me for sometimes thinking that I am somehow virtuous when I obey You, or that You will abandon me when I fail You. Please help me to admit my sin and receive limitless mercy and grace. Then please keep reminding me that I am saved to serve. So please show me how I can do that in the way that You want. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
