Prayer:

Jesus,

I grieve that the torture and sorrow You endured on the cross were necessary to save humanity.
You didn’t want us enslaved to fear, anxiety, or sin—so You sacrificed Yourself so that Love could win.

It’s Love that hung upon the cross and gave up everything to rescue us.
“It is finished” was a cry of victory, because You defeated everything that held us in captivity.

Because of Your sacrifice,
I can experience intimacy with You forever.
Thank You!

Show me how to share Your love today and every day.

Use me to reach the world You died to redeem.

Amen.
