Christ died for sinners

but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Father, Your grace, Your righteousness was given to us, while we were yet in our sins.

For this we are bought with a price and cannot boast of our own accomplishments. Let us humbly serve You today, knowing You are working in our behalf even when we don't know it. Let us be glad in the joy of salvation that You gave us. Give our children and families a clear vision and understanding of that marvelous Grace. Open the eyes of our children and families and let them see You. Humble them, free them to serve You. Give them spouses to comfort them and point them to the wonderous gift of Christ. Give them jobs so they may learn about You. Surround them with Godly people and hedge them in and reveal Yourself. Let the blinders be removed and hearts softened. Bless them, anoint them to be Yours.

We trust You with our families. While we were sinners, You gave us Jesus, we praise You.

Christians are under persecution today. Father, comfort them. Give them peace and let them be steadfast in Your will.

Bless Israel and return the hostages. Bless them with peace and strength. Rescue them, O Lord, from the hand of the enemy.

Give our nation wisdom and forgive us. We glorify You. Give us hearts to know of His sacrifice.

Restore our land, for You are an amazing God Who loves us.

In Christ alone
