Daily Prayer

Mighty God, Creator of All, You loved so much. So much! You made Yourself into me, or at least one like me. And took my sin and died for it. You are God of heavens and God of earth and became a man, a poor man and a servant, and died the death of a criminal.

For me.

God, may I love in Your name the very same people You died for. Teach me humility and guide me in the way of a servant.

Amen
