Lord,

We’re not always in a “good place”

but, thankfully, You meet us where we are.

You’re never out-of-reach, and You always

desire that we would draw closer to You.

You don’t ask us to be perfect in order to

receive Your love and blessing.

You love and bless us and, when we repent,

we are made perfect by Jesus’ death on the cross.

You blot out every stain of imperfection.

Jesus’ innocence and obedience becomes for us

the white robe that covers over our sins.

We thank You, praise You, and worship You for

Your goodness and mercy, in Jesus’ name.

Amen
