The Morning Prayer
Tuesday, October 10, 2023

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.
Romans 3:23–25a (NIV)

Heavenly Father, Creator of the Universe and Source of all Grace, we come before You this morning humbled and thankful. We acknowledge, Lord, that we all have sinned and fall short of Your glory, each day reminding us of our imperfections and the distance that lies between our worldly nature and Your divine purity.

Yet, it is in this humble state that we find Your boundless grace all the more awe-inspiring. We are eternally grateful for the redemption that has come through Your Son, Jesus Christ. By His sacrifice, the heavy weight of our sins is lifted, and we are freely justified in Your sight. This wondrous act, a mystery that transcends our understanding, is the cornerstone of our faith and the wellspring of our hope.

As we go about our day, Lord, let the reality of Christ’s sacrifice serve as both a reminder and a guide. Let it remind us that though we are flawed, we are not forsaken. Let it guide us in our actions and interactions, so that we may extend grace and love to others as freely as You have given it to us.

We receive Your grace this morning by faith. We pray for the strength and wisdom to reflect Your glory in our thoughts, words, and deeds, conscious of the extraordinary price that has been paid for our salvation.

In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.

May this prayer provide a strong foundation for your morning and the day ahead.
