Daily Prayer for March 8th, 2020
Good morning, God—thank you!! 🙂
Thank you, especially for Jesus. You sent him to save humankind from sin so that we will have eternal life. His work on the cross and resurrection from the dead brought reconciliation between me/us and you. You transformed him into the barrier of the good news of salvation under the new covenant of grace. Then, you sent your spirit (the Holy Spirit) to dwell in and among us to lead our way. Please help me to hold fast to your word, as I proclaim the gospel. Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and raised on the third day. Halleluiah! Amen.
