Prayer for today (4/3/16)

Dear Lord, help us to realize that we have never been so confused, naked, blind and hungry as when we are in sin. But, God, you are there, waiting and ready to forgive us just for the asking. No matter what we have done or how far we have fallen, you are as near as our next breath, waiting. Just come to him as you are, with all you have because he is there, waiting, with arms wide open. 1 John 1:9
