Prayer (Romans 5:1-8)
Jesus Christ -
Through You, we have peace with God, and we stand in grace.
Through You, we may boast in both our hope and our sufferings.
May our present sufferings produce endurance, character, and hope that does not disappoint.
May we connect with Your love that pours into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is with us.
May we remember Your commitment to love - even to the point of death on a cross.
In the name of the One who justifies us by faith, we pray.
Amen.
