Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, like all Your followers, I stumble in my faith. The devil quickly pounces, pointing out how I’m not a “good” Christian. In weakness, just to beat myself up, I agree with him. You disagree! To You, there are no “bad” Christians. How can that be? Without doubt, You’re aware of my faults, but that’s why You gave us Your Holy Spirit, who works tirelessly transforming my shortcomings (Philippians 1:6). Yet when You see me, by Your grace, You see only Christ’s righteousness in me. Where are my sins? Still buried in the grave where Christ left them when You resurrected Jesus from the grave to everlasting life. And by Your grace, how can I be a “bad” Christian when all You see is Christ righteousness in me? (Romans 3:22)
In Your mercy, Lord, bring an end to the wildfires ravaging the western states. Bless and protect the firefighters, first responders, emergency personnel, all medical workers, battling beyond human efforts to extinguish these fires. Bless and provide for all the victims who have lost everything in these catastrophic fires. Hold them close to Your heart and be the God they are looking for. And hold to accountability those responsible for starting these fires.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation, bring peace only as You can. In Jesus’ name, amen.
THANKFUL
