Today's writing by Max Lucado:

"Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace. And nothing fosters fear like an ignorance of mercy. If you haven’t accepted God’s forgiveness, you’re doomed to live in fear. Nothing can deliver you from the gnawing realization that you have disregarded your Maker and disobeyed his instruction. No pill, pep talk, psychiatrist, or possession can set the sinner’s heart at ease.'

"You may deaden the fear, but you can’t remove it. Only God’s grace can. 1 John 1:9 (NKJV) says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' Your prayer can be as simple as: 'Father, I need forgiveness. Please forgive me. I place my soul in your hands and trust in your grace. Through Jesus I pray, amen.'
