Morning Prayer for Today – I Am Righteous In You

Dear Lord,

I worship your name Lord for your mercy and forgiveness towards me daily.

Thank you for always being good to me and for your gift of righteousness to me.

I would not be able to come boldly to you by my failed human nature and weakness.

However, through your grace in the sacrifice of your Son, Jesus, you made me a saint, free from the guilt of sin and shame.

Your word says in Romans 4:

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 

Just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 

“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.” Therefore it was also credited to him as righteousness. 

Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, 

To us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 

He who was delivered over because of our wrongdoings, and was raised because of our justification.

Father, although I sometimes experience setbacks, I believe in your saving grace.

Please help me cling to your mercy and lovingkindness every day because I know they will sustain me until the end.

In Jesus' name, I pray.

Amen.
