Hebrews 3&4; Matthew 11; Hebrews 4; 1 John 1

Today, father, my heart is soft for you. I realize you, Lord Jesus, are everything for me, and I understand my desperate need for you as my Lord in every matter of life that counts.

You, Lord Jesus, are the Christ of God, our father. You are the son, placed by God, the father, over all the house. I am one of your house. I am your brother, Lord Jesus, one of your own, a child of the king and a joint heir with you, my Lord.

You, Lord Jesus, are the Apostle and high priest of my confession. My faith and salvation is in your finished work, Lord Jesus. You are my sabbath rest, and I am diligent to enter that rest.

I come unto you; I take up your cross; I learn from you; and I find rest for my soul.

You, Lord, are the very word of God, our father. You are living and powerful and sharp. You divide flesh from spirit. You are light in my soul and mind. You reveal the thoughts and intentions of my heart, so that I can repent, and confess, and be cleansed.

In your atonement, I can come boldly to the throne of grace and obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
