Shared Prayer

Lord, whose name is holy You have spoken that Your righteousness is given by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe, and You have declared there is no difference. It is written, so we lay down pride and despair, and we come believing. For those crushed by guilt, those ashamed of secret sin, and those who feel unseen beside stronger saints, let faith rise in their hearts toward Jesus Christ. Wash every accusing thought, silence condemnation, and settle Your acceptance deep within us. Teach us to stop measuring ourselves by others, and to rest in what You have given in Christ. Lord hasten your word to perform it, let Your righteousness shape our speech, our choices, and our courage to obey. Thank You for making a way for every believer, and for covering us with grace that we could never earn. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus. Amen.
