Unworthy
In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have only done our duty’ (Luke 17:10; NLT).
But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner’ (Luke 18:13; NLT).
Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the LORD your God and serve only him’ ” (Luke 4:8; NLT).
Lord,
I am your unworthy servant;
I don’t even do my duty!
Have mercy on me;
Heal and forgive me.
Help me to start afresh,
And to serve you alone.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
