SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Matthew 6:9-15

⁹ So when you pray, you should pray like this:
'Our Father in heaven,
May your name always be kept holy.
¹⁰ May your kingdom come
And what you want be done,
Here on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us the food we need for each day.
¹² Forgive us for our sins,
Just as we have forgiven those who sinned against us.
¹³ And do not cause us to be tempted,
But save us from the Evil One.' [The kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours forever. Amen.]
¹⁴ Yes, if you forgive others for their sins, your Father in heaven will also forgive you for your sins. ¹⁵ But if you don't forgive others, your Father in heaven will not forgive your sins.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, I lay my sins on Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God. Thank You for bearing them all and freeing me from the accuser’s condemnation. I confess my sins to You, the big and small, so that my crimson stains are washed white in the blood of the sinless Lamb of God. Thank You for being the Sinbearer that lifts me from the slimy pit of mud and mire that blocks the flowing of Your Spirit within me. You are faithful and just; You forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness as I seek Your forgiveness. You put a new song in my mouth and a hymn of praise and thanksgiving for Your wondrous love and forgiveness. Thank You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
