For loving me even when I was against you. For wanting me as a friend and not an enemy even with all the hurt and pained that I have caused you to endure even on the cross.

My core identity as a sinner in the context of God's Holiness, because this is the only way I'm going to be able to run to the Father and experience His amazing love for me! -rachel

Before I doubted in the weight of my sins, despite telling myself that I am a sinner. But now I see more and more the true intensity of my sin, and I also trust that God has seen all of this and Jesus has made my sins white as snow

Before I doubted the holiness and grace of God. But now I trust all of him, the wrath and the blessing, as he loved me so much to take up my sin and die in my place. -Michelle

Dear God, I confess that I've been keeping myself enclosed in my own world to prevent myself from truly seeing myself in your holiness. Before you, I cannot claim to be free from how I've wronged many people in the past, even if I claimed that I did nothing. Please choose to keep working with my stubborn calloused heart. Thank you for continuing to work through me despite the hypocrisy in my life in the church.

Woe is me and how my sinfulness the dramas of my life, my self absorption, my pride, my desires, that prevent me from personally connecting with God and focusing on him. -Ang

Thank you Jesus for taking on the cross for someone so sinful and undeserving like me. I thank you that you have made a way for me to be redeemed, and that I am not engulfed by my sins

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Jesus for becoming sin so that your righteous wrath that I deserve could be averted. Thank you for knowing the full depths of my sinfulness yet choosing to die on the cross for me. Thank you for being so patient with me, giving me opportunities to repent and turn back to you even though I'm so deluded and blind to my sins most of the time. Thank you for your sacrifice on the cross, making your mercy and forgiveness available always when I repent. - mina

I confess that the main drama of my life has been around myself, having control over my life or having life be manageable. I'm sorry for how I've strayed away from that central identity that you give me through the cross and how I've been the one to distance myself from you. Thank you that you don't leave me where I am but you come down from heaven to enter into our sins and sufferings and even to go to the cross to reconcile me to yourself. Thank you for the cross! -rachel

The holiness of God and that being the proper backdrop for me. I want to think about myself more objectively and reflect more and be able to really listen and receive feedback from other people. I also want to reflect more on the dramas in my life and how my life should not be centered around that but on Jesus instead. -Denice

Dear God, I'm sorry that time and time again, I fall into my sins and never truly repent. I take what you have done for me for granted and delude myself to be the person I want to be and not what you see me truly as. -Michelle

# data[].attributes.body
Dear God, I repent for the ways that I have been deluding myself and trying to claim that I am a good person. The parts that I've been trying to cover up, you've already known and have loved me regardless. I thank you that your love for me is greater than any of my sins.

Thank you Jesus for taking my sin upon yourself and becoming sin itself, enduring the suffering of being cut off from the source of life and to die the sinner's death in my place. Thank you for your great love in which you took my place on the cross to save me.

The true impact of my sin of omission, only caring about myself and never appreciating or caring for people around me; parable of the talents - Tiffany

# data[].attributes.body
The picture of Isaiah so stricken with his sin that he declares himself cursed pretty much. Especially as a prophet of God who was trusted with God’s Word to give and share with His people. Being so connected with God helped him to better see and understand himself. He doesn’t compare or try to make large distinctions between him and others to build up his image or anything like that. Instead, his posture towards God is meek and humble recognizing the just how much he pales in comparison to the backdrop of God’s holiness which is far beyond anything we could achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
the dramas of my life that keep me from personally connecting with the cross regularly instead of just experiencing it during Passion Week or big events/retreats. I also want to think more about the sins that I easily brush aside like my envy, irritation, vanity and how against the backdrop of God's holiness, I deserve wrath. And that the consequences of my sins are deeper than I will ever know. - mina

I was blessed by the cross where Jesus literally became sin in order to take on the wrath of my sin. I was blessed by the joy and freedom of this basic gospel message! -Rachel

how I identify myself on a day-to-day basis and how that does not align with my true identity as a sinner -amy

how much I've been filling my time being self-centeredness and ignorance when I should be turning  my life to what Jesus has done for me and want me to do. -michelle

Thank you Jesus for loving me so much that you went to the Cross to die for my sins and became sin itself. Even though you were sinless, you died a sinner's death for me so that I may be forgiven of all my sins. Thank you for all that you have done for me.
