A Prayer Of Thanks For God’s Pardon

Father, You softly and tenderly call us back to Yourself after we walk away from Your truth and live in defiance of all that we once held dear. You do not shame us by scoldingly point Your righteous finger in our face but instead You embrace us and cast our sins into the depths of the ocean, to be remembered no more. If we are to remember anything of our past, let it be that which brings glory to You when we share with others that which You have forgiven. May the contrast of our former lives not bring up condemnation which You have freed us from, but celebration in that there is no sin beyond Your merciful pardon. To God be the glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
