Night Prayer 

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Inspiration 

Paul writes a lot about being ‘in Christ,’ and rightly so. The phrase reminds us that our salvation and our righteousness are intertwined with, and wholly dependent on, our relationship with Jesus. And we know Jesus not because we have earned our place with him through the law, but because we have received him, and his grace, by faith.

Prayer 

Thank you, Jesus, for saving me. Thank you for freeing me from the tireless burden of my works and the delusion that I could save myself. Your grace is all I need, and I joyfully accept it, trusting in your forgiveness and your righteousness to work in and through me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
