Father, Thank You for the love that you sent Jesus to take my place. Thank You that He stood trial for me… that He took my punishment… and that because of Him, I can be forgiven and free.
Today, I turn to You. I lay down my sin, my pride, and my past.
I surrender to You. I believe Jesus died for me and rose again.
From this day forward, I want to follow You with all my heart.
Thank You for saving me. Thank You for grace.
I pray these things, In Jesus’ name, Amen.
