A Prayer for Tuesday, July 7

Lord,
  You gave up your life so that I might have life.
  When I was dead, you entered the tomb and took my place.  You brought me back to life by your sacrifice.  I owe everything to you.
  My very life.  The ones I love.  The gifts I have.  The joys and triumphs, and the struggles and difficulties, they all come my way because you have generously and freely given me life.
  May I be grateful for this gift, and may I never, not even for a moment, forget that you are the One by whose grace I live.  I don't have to have the freedom and life I do, but when I was an enemy of you through my sin, you provided life and hope through your love.
 
Thank you, Lord.

Amen
