But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
(Romans 3:21-24)
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (II Corinthians 5:21)
Holy and Righteous Father,
These children will never measure up to your standards and they will come to know that. But I pray they do not become discouraged and give up when they come to this realization. May they, instead, truly come to understand and believe the miracle that occurs when your righteousness becomes our righteousness. This happens not because we become better people, but because of the faithfulness of your Son and our faith in him. I pray these children come to deeply believe and accept this gift from you.
Amen
