Shared Prayer

O Gracious God You have spoken life and assurance to every soul, it is written that the one who hears Your word and believes on Him that sent Jesus has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. Let this truth silence every accusing voice and every chain of shame. For the person who cannot forgive themselves, for the one afraid of judgment, for the one who feels far away, draw them to Your Son and give them faith to believe You fully. Break the power of condemnation and replace it with repentance, clean joy, and grateful obedience. In the name of Jesus, let anxious hearts rest in Your promise and let doubting minds be anchored in Your word. Thank You for mercy that does not fail, for forgiveness that is real, and for life that You give freely to all who believe. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
