Prayer

Thank You Jesus, You died on the cross to save the unworthy sinner like me.  I was attracted to You by Your sacrificial love.  I believe and accept Your perfect salvation work done on the cross for me.  Help me to meditate on Your love whenever I see or remember the cross, so that I am able to take up my cross to follow you and serve you.  Give me the wisdom to be aware of the presence of Satan who tries to make me stumble and fall into the temptation to commit sin that would destroy me.  Please protect me always.  I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
