Pray
“And forgive us our trespasses and we forgive those
who trespass against us.”
Heavenly Father, do not look at our sins, or deny our prayer because of them. We are neither worthy of the things for which we pray, nor have we deserved them, but we ask that You would give them all to us by grace, for we daily sin much and surely deserve nothing but punishment. But you have given Your Son, our Savior, Jesus to bear our sins in His body on the cross and given us forgiveness for His sake. For Jesus’ sake help us to sincerely forgive and gladly do good to those who sin against us. Amen.
Pray About
For the preaching of the holy cross of our Lord Jesus Christ
and for the spread of His knowledge throughout the whole world; for the
persecuted and oppressed; for the sick and dying.
