“Heavenly Father,
I’ve heard about Jesus…but His message hasn’t penetrated my heart until today.
I’m tired of running. Hiding. Covering my sin and giving the world, you and myself excuses for it.
If you suffered for sinners, then you came to die for me.
It’s overwhelming to think about all that needs fixing…my relationships, mind, body, temperament and attitude.
What a priceless exchange! I give you my broken-ness, and you purify and restore me!
The cross displays deep pain, grief, rejection and abandonment so you’re familiar with heartache and sorrow.
I can’t help but make room for a God so humble, selfless, merciful and gracious.
Today, I put my faith in you; the Only One with the power to resurrect dead things.
I receive the fullness of your Holy Spirit to guide my life, my choices and to shape my true identity.
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
And Jesus did this all… for me!
In His name and from this day forward, I reject the Kingdom of darkness and accept the glorious inheritance of my Living King. Amen.”
