Day 160

Father, 

We praise You for identifying with the poor. You lead the way for us in the fullness of Your generosity, and You inspire us to be cheerful givers. Because You’ve given us so much to share, we can demonstrate Your blessings and generosity to those in need!

We don’t always share though, God. Sometimes we’re fearful and don’t trust You to provide. We repent of our greed and of the fear and mistrust that fuels it. We repent of being quarrelsome and quick to anger. Remind us that You can be trusted and that You govern hearts. Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. 

Would You steer us toward hope and plant our feet firmly on YOU as our foundation so that fear doesn’t inform our decisions? Remind us that we’re eternally safe and permanently secure in You. Give us your peace when we’re filled with unrighteous anger. Hold our tongues when we want to pick a fight. We can’t do it, God, but Your Spirit in us can. 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every thought, every word, every fear, every need—we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
