Dear heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Son Jesus as my King. Jesus came to the world to set us free from the bondage of our sin by His death on the cross for the price of my sin. Satan cannot imprison me to death, because Satan cannot accuse me against my sin and cannot bring me to death as the wages of my sin. Jesus! Thank you for your resurrection from death so that death cannot hold me any more. I will be resurrected from tomb at Jesus’ second coming in air even though I may die. Jesus! You are my eternal King. You are worthy to be honored and praised for eternity. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
