Prayer based on Romans 3

Lord God, we thank You for the privilege of being associated with Your worshipping assembly. Grant to us an appreciation of the reason for our acceptance in Your sight. Surely our confidence is only in Christ. The problem of unrighteousness is universal, but now You have shown us the way of life through the Substitute that You have appointed for us. By the works of the Law no one could ever be justified in Your sight. We have been saved by grace through faith in the great work of Your Son alone. He is our Propitiation. We boast in Christ, for we have been saved by Him apart from any good thing that we claim to accomplish. Thank You for Your abundant mercy.
