There is more joy in Heaven when a lost sinner returns to God…
The scripture for today’s prayer:
So Jesus told them this story: 4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. 6 When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!
Luke 15:3-7 New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: I am grateful that there is joy in Heaven when a lost sinner who strayed repents and returns to God. You are a gracious and merciful Heavenly Father. Amen.
