Oct 13 - How to Have a Happy Day

 

Bible Verse: Titus 3:5 New Living Translation (NLT) "He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. "

Prayer: "Dear Lord,  Today and every day is a happy day because You have washed my sins away. I can live each day rejoicing in Your salvation because my sins are gone forever! I pray for those who have not had the privilege of experiencing the incredible joy of knowing that their sins are forgiven.  Please help them to reach out to You and accept Your free gift of forgiveness. Thank You for dying for me on the cross and washing all my sins away.  I am beyond blessed to have You living in my heart.  Thank You Jesus for saving me! You truly make each day a VERY happy one! In Your precious name I pray, AMEN."
