“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.” -John 3:16
Sometime today light a candle as a symbol of your need for God’s love and mercy. Spend some time reflecting and confessing particular areas in your own walk where you need mercy. It is hard to admit our shortcomings, but admitting them and inviting the Holy Spirit to work in our lives is an irreplaceable first step.
Close your time of confession by blowing out the candle and saying this simple prayer:
“Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me according to your unfailing love and kindness.”
