Day 198

Father, 

We praise You for being a God who communicates with humanity. You’ve given us the general revelation of creation and the special revelation of Scripture, the work of Your Son Jesus, and Your Spirit within us, who reminds us of the truths Your Word teaches. The fact that You can direct our thoughts and our hearts is such a comfort, because we know what our hearts and our minds do when left to their own devices. You are a better guide. You are a trusted guide. You are a HOLY guide, and we praise You for that! 

Have mercy on me, a sinner. Sometimes it’s easier and more comfortable for us to avoid the truth, God. We turn a blind eye, throw a party, and crank up the music to drown You out⁠—like the people in Jerusalem did when Your warning came. We don’t want to know we need to repent. It’s offensive to us to even think we’re guilty of sin. But we are. So we confess those sins, turn from them, and turn to You. Make our hearts clean, God. 

You are the God who mourns over Your enemies, who turns them into Your family and calls them Your people. Give us hearts like that. Not only hearts that view YOU rightly but that extend with compassion toward those who don’t yet know You. May we radiate a joy and freedom that draws them to YOU. 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—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.
