Prayer
Jesus said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened' (Matthew 11:28) — and He welcomes us into honest prayer about what we fear.
Father, the weight of standing before You in judgment feels heavy. I know You see everything — every choice, every hidden thought, every deed. I can't hide or make excuses then. But You sent Jesus to take my judgment on Himself. Help me live today aware that I will answer to You, not in terror, but in gratitude that my debt is paid through Christ. Teach me to make choices now that I won't regret when I see You face to face. In Jesus' name, Amen.
