“But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
- Isaiah 53: 5-6
Father, thank you for loving your people enough to send your Son to take the wrath in our place. That he freely gave his life so that we would have peace. Lord, I confess, that I have gone astray from your commands; that I struggle daily to be like Christ. I pray for the strength, understanding, and wisdom from the Holy Spirit to help me treat others as Christ would have treated them. May I not be focused on my way, but on your ways! May I be used to glorify you, not myself! Thank you for your love and grace.
In Christ's loving name, Amen.
