The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, the accuser is real. I have heard his voice in my own head. He lists my failures. He keeps a running score of why I do not deserve to be called Your child. He whispers that I am the exception to Your grace.
But You do not leave me in those dirty clothes. You rebuke the accuser. You clothe me in clean garments I did not earn. I do not have to answer every charge. You handle them.
When that accusing voice runs today, help me remember the clean garment. The list of failures may be accurate. The garment over me is also accurate. The first does not undo the second.
Lord Jesus, You silence the accuser by Your blood. Cover me again this morning. Let me work today as a man clothed in You, not as a man defending himself.
Amen.
