June 19

Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank thee O Lord this morning for the sacrifice You made toward us, Your children. As we reflect on Isaiah 53, we cannot fathom what You endured. You were despised, rejected, wounded, bruised, oppressed and afflicted and yet You were sinless. You took the punishment that we deserved. However, You saw the travail of Your soul and was satisfied. We are more than humbled that You chose this lot for us. Forgive us Lord when we have turned to our own way. Please have mercy on your dear servants this morning and give us strength for whatever we may face today, small or great, is my prayer, for Christ's sake, Amen.
