A Warning To Heed
Lord Jesus,
Thank You for what You endured in the garden—for taking our sin, for standing in our place, and for loving us all the way to the cross.
Thank You for saving us and for never leaves us.
When life feels dark or heavy, remind us that You have been there— and You will help us in life.
Help us trust You more and become more like you.
We pray this in Your name, Amen.
