Heavenly Father,
thank You that despite the wickedness
of the human heart and the evil intentions
in the mind of the fallen man and woman,
You determined from before the foundation
of the earth, to redeem Your creatures
and You chose to forgive the sins of those
who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank You that all who believe in Him
are declared righteous by Your grace.
You are a good and gracious God
Who forgives our iniquity,
declares us righteous,
and remembers our sins no more.
Help us to walk in Your ways
and to point others to Jesus,
the Author and Finisher of our faith.
In His Name we pray. Amen
