Prayer
Preparation . . .
All
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God . . .
(Romans
3:23)
If
we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not
in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
(1
John 1:8-9)
Let
us then approach the throne of grace with confidence . . .
(Hebrews
4:16)
