Prayer

God, who is holy and fair, I admit to you that I have done wrong things in my life. Still, by faith, I believe that what Jesus did for me by dying, being buried, and rising again gave me life and made me holy in your eyes. Because of your amazing grace, please bless me and give me the power to live as your victorious child. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
