7 Prayers That Work

This is a poetic prayer about how the crucifixion affects my life. Dear Jesus-- Because of the cross, you understand pain; you can erase suffering-- your healing I'll gain. Because of the cross, you can understand sin; your gift of forgiveness will grant peace within. Because of the cross, you drew your last breath; in becoming mortal, you freed us from death. Because of the cross, my debt has been paid; no longer I'm guilty a daughter you've made. Because of the cross, I have access to you; you hear all my prayers, you make dreams come true. Because of the cross, I will live saved and free; no longer I'll struggle with whom I should be. Because of the cross, I'm changed every day; I live life with purpose, for you've shown me the way.
