The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You made Jesus carry all my wrong things on the cross, even though He never did anything wrong. When You look at the cross, You see my sin on Him. When You look at me, You see Jesus goodness instead. That is a trade I never could have made myself. No matter how hard I tried, I could never fix this on my own. Thank You for this gift I do not deserve. Amen.
