Great Prayer for Saturday

This is a part of the prayer for Saturday that is published in the Treasury of Daily Prayer.  I wanted to share this with you.

Redeem us by Your mercy.  We know that a single sin eternally destroys our fellowship with You.  We know that we have eternally earned Your wrath.  We know that by our sin we are not worthy to be named Your children.  But our hope is not in our works; our hope is found in Your grace alone, O God.  We pray You to forgive us for the sake of Jesus Christ, Your beloved Son.  Through Him, grant us power to hate our sins, so that we may lead a life well-pleasing to You in true humility and in the knowledge of Your holy will.  O Lord, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Great prayer that puts our lives squarely on the grace and mercy of God as found in His Son!
