Praying the Scriptures
Sunday Evening Prayer
September 22, 2024
He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:10–12)
Gracious and Compassionate God,
As the sun sets on this day, I come before You with a humble heart. You do not treat me as my sins deserve nor repay me according to my iniquities. Your steadfast love reaches beyond the heavens, and Your mercy is immeasurable.
Thank You for removing my transgressions as far as the east is from the west. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness and renew a right spirit within me. Help me to embrace Your forgiveness and extend that same grace to others.
As I rest tonight, may Your peace envelop me. Guard my heart and mind, and prepare me for the days to come. Let me continually remember Your loving-kindness and live in a way that honors You.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
Amen.
I hope this prayer brings you comfort and peace through the night.
