Read Galatians 1–2.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Galatians 2:20–21
Dear God,
I take such comfort in knowing that by your grace, your crucifixion, and your death, my sins are forgiven and I am saved. Help me today to stop striving. Help me today to lean into you, rest in you, and live by my faith in you. Help me to receive and feel your love, such a love that gave His life for me. Hold all my intentions close today, Father, and let them feel your presence. There is such unrest, suffering, and fear in this world, Papa. Help us to lay it down at your feet. Help us to gaze into your eyes and feel the peace, love, comfort, forgiveness, and grace that your death provides for us. Thank you for being such a loving Father.
I love you, Papa.
