To Be Real About My Sin and Your Grace<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Forgiving Father,
There is no greater blessing than the assurance of salvation and knowing that it is a gift from start to finish. Sometimes, however, I allow that assurance to morph into overconfidence or arrogance, leading me to trivialize or downplay my own sin. When the certainty of my forgiveness convinces me to think that my sin is no big deal, I end up diminishing both grace and the gravity of your Son\u2019s sacrifice for me. Let each of these be true: you loathe sin while also delighting in forgiving it. Guide me to have the same perspective, so that I despise my own sin and genuinely desire to overcome it, while also treasuring your generous, limitless grace and forgiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jesus\u2019 name I pray. Amen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
