Day 15

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7

Dear God,

You are above all. Worthy is Your name!

I humbly come to You... I am a sinner. The things I have done deserve justice, not grace; and yet, I need Your grace. I need Your forgiveness. Would You replace the guilt and the shame I feel? Would You remind me how much You love me even when I totally blow it.

Be near to my friends and family who live with 'secret' shame. Please give them a trusted friend and confidant. Bring to their lives a sense of Your forgiveness.

Thank You for forgiving me. Thank You for taking our cares and burdens upon Yourself. Thank You for promising to always care for each of us.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
