Isaiah 53:5; “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.”
1 Peter 2:24 says, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his woulds you have been healed.”
Jesus, why do I keep living in my sin? I don’t want to, I ache to be free and live for You. Don’t let me rush past the Cross Lord; show me the weight of what You carried for me, awaken a spirit within me Lord and help me feel the seriousness of sin without slipping into shame. I want to see clearly Lord, I want to live free of this burden. Thank You for taking it for me Lord. I am laying it down and picking up Your righteousness today. I receive Your blessing Lord.
Romans chapter 5:8, “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” The Cross does two things at once:
Anything we turn to for relief, identity, or escape can quietly replace dependence on Him and becomes an idol and sin in our lives. The Cross gently but firmly says: “Come back.”
Father, I do not take the cross lightly. I know it cost You everything Jesus. Forgive me for being complacent and living in compromise. Where I’ve treated sin lightly Lord, convict me. Where I’ve excused patterns, strengthen my resolve. I bring my habits to the Cross. My cravings. My compromises. My hidden things. I lay them down at Your feet Lord. Thank You that confrontation and conviction are not rejection. Thank You that the Cross is proof of love. I surrender again, over and over Lord. I love You so much. Amen.
Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?
Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach. I gained 100 pounds in my late twenties and struggled for years to get it off. Seven years ago, I found a basic system that worked and has helped me lose 90 of those pounds. I’ve been working with women in online fitness and nutrition ever since to break chains of diet culture, embrace their bodies and fueling instead of dieting.
