Gracious Father,
You, who choose the unlikely and overlooked, whose grace defies our human understanding, We come before You with hearts laid bare.
Our beginnings, mere footnotes in the grand story, Yet You see beyond the surface, into our souls. Define us not by our past, but by Your boundless love, For Your grace is the tapestry that mends our brokenness.
When we stumble, when our failures weigh heavy, Your love remains extravagant, unwavering. You discipline us not in anger, but in love, Guiding us back to the path of righteousness.
In moments of judgment, when the tempest rages, Your grace stands firm, a lighthouse on rocky shores. Reconciliation is Your heartbeat, O God, and mercy flows like a river, quenching our parched souls.
Restore us, Lord, when we turn back to You, For Your arms are open wide, waiting patiently. Guard our hearts against false gods, idols of our making, and lead us into the sanctuary of Your presence.
May we walk in humility, faithfulness, and reverence, knowing that restoration is always possible, For Your grace is the thread that weaves our story, and in surrender, we find strength.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
