Psalm 69:1-5
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
When we come to God in prayer, it is folly to pretend that we are blameless. Considering that God knows even the secret thoughts of our hearts, it is best to come to God as we are, broken and contrite, hoping for forgiveness.
We can do this because we know there is grace for us. We know that God is eager to forgive, ready to welcome, open to receiving us in spite of our flaws. God loves us as we are, rushing to the prodigals with open arms, ready to give even his own Son so that the relationship might be restored.
God loves you. Nothing can stop God from loving you. Do not come to God worried you aren't good enough--come grateful that God loves you even though none of us are good enough.
May you cling to God's grace
