A Daily Prayer

Jesus, the story of Malchus reminds us of those who come against You in their thoughts, words and actions. Yet You respond to them in love even as You extend Your saving grace toward them.  When we were powerless, lost in our transgressions and sins, You died for us, the ungodly.  You made a way for us to be justified through Your shedding of innocent blood so that we, though guilty, could be saved from the Father’s wrath.  We are no longer enemies of the cross, but reconciled to the Father, through Your shed blood.  We want to sow seeds of salvation wherever we go and trust You for the eventual saving of many lives.  In Your name, Jesus, we pray.  Amen.
