Gracious, loving Father, You are the God of redemption, restoration and relationship. You take on the burden of our sins for Your name’s sake. You remember them no longer, once we return to You and repent of them. You call us by our name to remember You, to reflect upon Your forgiveness and justice. You don’t ask us to contend for our trespasses in order to be condemned. You ask for us to come, be acquitted of them to Your glory. There is no other like You, who goes out for the salvation of Your beloved. We exalt You. We remember Your grace and mercy in the name and authority of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.

“​I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; ​​And I will not remember your sins. ​​Put Me in remembrance; ​​Let us contend together; ​​State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43: 25-26 NKJV)
