Prayer for the day

God,

I’ve spent far too long trying to earn Your love, fighting to be worthy of what You’ve given me, and in trying to be perfect, I’ve kept my true self from You. Still, You offer me Your radical grace, which overwhelms me. I fall into Your open arms and ease into Your warmth. I surrender to You, even revealing the worst of myself I’ve fervently tried to hide. I give it all to You and rest in the promise that I am Your beloved.

Amen.
