Psalm 51:1 in the "Message" by Eugene Peterson is written as:
"Generous in love - God, give grace!
Huge in mercy - wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I have been;
my sins are staring me down."
Luke 23:43 He said, "Don't worry, I will. Today you will join me in paradise."
Dear God of grace and mercy, we come to you broken and weary. We have sinned in so many ways that we can't go on. We have been reminded that you will wash away our sins, that we will be cleansed and forgiven. Help us to always remember this so that the paths we walk are ones that lead us closer to you, paths with actions that let your light shine through us. Thank you for believing in us so much, that you are willing to make us whole again! Amen
