Father God,

Today, I pray that we, the people of God, would find peace and rest in the reality of Isaiah 44:22. The simple phrase “return to me, for I have redeemed you” meant that You, o Lord, had completed the work of redemption, not needing man’s contribution. Israel and we today belong to You. The call is not to come in order to be converted, but to come because You redeemed us.

We clearly don’t fully comprehend the fullness of this or the first half of the verse where You blot out transgressions which are nothing more than cloud and mist. Your work of redemption is not hindered by our works once You set Your Name upon us as Your elect.

Teach us to walk in the joy of having our transgressions blotted out. Let that replay over and over in our minds until it soaks and saturates all our moments of the days and of our nights.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
