A Good Friday prayer of praise and thanks

Dear Jesus Christ,

Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice–
for accepting the call as Savior of the world.

You took on human likeness, when you were God himself,
and subjected yourself to human pain and suffering.
You loved us so much that you took our sins on yourself
and felt them–held-them–
and died in them, after a day and a night of torture, abuse, and abandonment.

It was all wrong–all unjust–
and yet you agreed to it because you loved us.

You did that for me.

Thank you.
I can only feel overwhelmed by your love
and convicted by your grace.
I am so unworthy you.

And you so patiently wait for me,
call me,
and protect me,
even when I don’t answer and don’t want you.

Oh, Lord Jesus!
I love you more every day,
but I will never understand the depth of your love for me.

I worship you.
Amen.
