The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, I get uncomfortable when I hear about Your wrath. But Your wrath is not small or mean. It is how seriously You take the sin that is destroying the people You love. I have been acting like my sin is just part of who I am — like it is no big deal. Show me how serious it really is, and then turn my eyes to the cross. Jesus bore the wrath I deserved. That is not a sentence of fear. That is relief. That is the good news written on my heart. Because I see what my sin cost Him, I do not want to hold onto it one more day. Help me let it go. Amen.
