“Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” Luke 15:7

Dear Heavenly Father,

We praise You and thank You for never giving up on us; to continue to grow, shape, and form us as we learn the struggle when we fight with You.

Thank You for the pain that we endure when we act as our own god.

Thank You for how You strip us when we are haughty towards You and others.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for instructing us that we must crucify ourselves in order to truly follow You; to carry our own cross, denying ourselves.

Thank You, Jesus, for being the way, the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through You.

Lord Jesus, amen.
