Today's Prayer

Lord, thank You so much for making it so I could take part in Your inheritance in the Kingdom. I confess that I was letting the darkness and evil things of this world control me and draw me away from You. Thank You for sending Jesus to rescue me and for accepting me into Your eternal kingdom and to the realm of Your love and hope. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
