Father, Your Word says sin is worse than it looks. The little lies. The mean thoughts. The selfish moments when I want my way. None of them is small to You. But You did not tell me that to make me feel hopeless. You told me so I would run to Jesus. Here I come. Wash me clean. Make me new again so I can rest tonight. Amen.
