A prayer to pray now

Father, Your Word says that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. That is a heavy truth for a tired morning. But the heaviness is exactly where I find comfort.

My forgiveness was not something I earned. It was bought. The cost was paid in full. I cannot add to it and I cannot take away from it.

So when I am sharp with my partner, when I doze off while trying to pray, when I resent the long night, I do not have to crawl back to You through shame.

I come back the way Jesus paid for me to come back. Clean. Through His blood. Already forgiven before I could ever earn it again.

This small life is hard and it is also a gift. Let me hold both today. Help me believe Your grace instead of arguing with it. Receive me now, and send me back into this day.

Amen.
