A Prayer for the Fatherless

Heavenly Father,
What a gift to call You my Father because of what Christ has accomplished on the cross for me! I know I do not have to run away from You; You see it all and know I will undoubtedly mess up. That is why You sent Your Son Jesus to earth to live the perfect life for me, to fulfill the law completely for me. His death on the cross paid for my punishment of the curse of the law that I will never be able to uphold. I come boldly to the throne of grace today and receive new mercies that Christ died for me to have. In Christ, I am given the right to be called Your child. I rest in the finished work of the cross and trust that You are healing my wounded heart where my earthly father may have failed, hurt me, or is no longer here. I know that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Thank You for calling me one of Your own. In Christ’s name, I pray, amen.
