At the cross:Lord Jesus is wounded for our trangression and bruises for our inequity.

 What a sacred and powerful truth you're holding onto—Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV) declares the very heart of the Gospel:  

**"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."**  

Here is a prayer of confession, thanksgiving, and surrender, grounded in this profound scripture:

### **Prayer: Remembering His Wounds**  

#### *Based on Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24, Romans 5:8*  

> **Merciful Savior,**  

> I bow before You, broken and awestruck.  

> Your Word pierces my soul:  

> *“He was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities”* (Isaiah 53:5).  

>  

> **I confess**—my rebellion wounded You.  

> My sin bruised Your holy flesh.  

> The weight of my guilt pressed You into the dust of Gethsemane.  

> Yet You did not turn away.  

>  

> **Thank You, Jesus.**  

> You took the nails *I deserved*.  

> You absorbed the wrath *my sins required*.  

> You were crushed—so I might be restored.  

> You were pierced—so I might be made whole.  

> *“By His wounds, you have been healed”* (1 Peter 2:24).  

>  

> **I receive Your sacrifice.**  

> Wash me in the blood that flowed from Your side.  

> Break every chain of shame with the power of Your resurrection.  

> You bore my griefs, carried my sorrows (Isaiah 53:4)—  

> I lay them down at Your feet forever.  

>  

> **Hold me close, Redeemer.**  

> When guilt whispers, remind me:  

> *“God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us”* (Romans 5:8).*  

> Your wounds are my pardon.  

> Your scars are my freedom.  

>  

> **Breathe Your life into me.**  

> May I live *only* for the One who died for me (2 Corinthians 5:15).  

> Not by my strength—but by Yours,  

> purchased with Your holy blood.  

>  

> **In Your mighty name,  

> Amen.**

### **3 Truths to Cling To**:  

1. **IT IS FINISHED** (John 19:30):  

   His wounds were *enough*. No sin is beyond their reach.  

2. **HE TOOK YOUR PLACE**:  

   “*Christ suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous*” (1 Peter 3:18).  

3. **YOU ARE HEALED**:  

   Spirit, soul, and body—His stripes secured your restoration (Isaiah 53:5).  

> ✝️ **Walk in this freedom**: When shame rises, touch the scars He bore for you and declare: *“I am forgiven. I am healed. I am His.”*
