Jesus answered him, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.’
(Luke 23:43)
Pray
You are the compassionate and merciful Father who loves us unconditionally. I come to You today with a humble heart, seeking forgiveness and grace. I am grateful for Your promise of salvation, as revealed in this verse when Jesus assured the repentant criminal on the cross that he would be with Him in paradise. Thank You for the hope and reassurance that even in our darkest moments, Your love and forgiveness are available to us.
Lord, I ask for Your forgiveness for my sins and shortcomings. Grant me the wisdom and strength to live a life that is pleasing to You. Help me to always remember Your promise of eternal life and to keep my focus on the hope that is found in Jesus. Guide me in my journey of faith, and grant me the grace to grow closer to You each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
