We&#8217;ve tried to push you to the side of our lives, spurned you, ignored you, blasphemed you, and rejected you. Yet each time we call out to you, you respond, hearing us out and saving us from ourselves. Father, please pardon me for not having more respect for you. Forgive me for not appreciating Jesus&#8217;s greatness and the extreme humility it required of him to give his life for me. But thank you, Father! I appreciate your endurance, sacrifice, and patience. I&#8217;m grateful. In Jesus&#8217;s precious name I pray.
