Day 139

Father, 

We praise You for taking sin seriously and caring about justice. Thank You for not forgetting, and for handling things we can’t and with a perfect justice that we’d never be able to achieve in our imperfection. 

We repent of the times we’ve pursued vengeance instead of pursuing You. We confess that we’ve prioritized hating our enemies over loving You and loving our enemies like You have called us to. Like Joab, we haven’t trusted You to protect or provide for us, and we repent. 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 work in our hearts to restore the relationships with the people we’ve wronged? Start with us. Change us from the inside out by the work of Your Spirit in us. Conform us to the image of Your Son Jesus who loved His enemies so well. 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every grudge we bear, 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.
