Day 202

 

Jesus, 

We praise You for being the landing place for the Father’s wrath. You took it all upon Yourself so that God’s kids don’t have to! Instead, we get to enjoy being in relationship with the compassionate King of the Universe! Father, we praise You for the mercy You’ve extended to us⁠—not giving us what we deserve. We praise You for the grace You’ve poured out on us⁠—giving us all the benefits and gifts of knowing You.  

We confess that we’ve held those gifts in higher esteem than You at times. We’ve been angry with You for withholding them from us, we’ve idolized them when You gave them to us, and we’ve been ungrateful. We’ve let our abundance take our eyes off You and we’ve let our greed shape our view of You. And we repent. We turn FROM our sins TO You and ask You to make our hearts clean. Have mercy on me, a sinner. 

Would You help us to return to You where we’ve wandered? We can’t do it on our own. We need Your Spirit to empower our steps and redirect our thoughts and desires. Please do it, God! Teach us to hold fast to love and justice and to wait continually for You! 

We surrender our lives to You—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
