Day 159

Father, 

We praise You for Your divine involvement. Your sovereignty is absolute, and You are active in everything. That is SUCH a comfort. It’s terrifying to think that anything is beyond Your control or Your attention. We trust You in Your sovereignty and we praise You for working out Your perfect plan to bring about the restoration of all the things we’ve broken. 

We confess that we break LOTS of things, God. We’ve been prideful and made assumptions, we’ve been impatient and entitled, and we certainly haven’t always practiced self-control or speech-control. We repent of our sinful thoughts, words, and actions, and we turn to You. Your ways are better. Have mercy on me, a sinner. 

Humble us, Father. Remind us that we can plan our steps, vision board our future, and try to exert control over the outcome, but You are sovereign and wise and loving. Only You know the future. And Your plan is not only best, it is good. So open our hands, God. And soften our hearts to trust You more. When we resist You, show us how Your plans are better than ours. 

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

We love You too. Amen.
