Day 137

Father, 

We praise You for being active in the subtle nuances and specific timing! You are working in all things⁠—seen and unseen⁠, heard and unheard—to bring about Your good plan. You are even big enough that You work through the plans of Your enemies! No one else could do that⁠—only You!  

But we confess that in our foolishness and limited understanding, we don’t always trust You with the timing and the nuances. We fear our enemies more than we trust You. So set our hearts right, God. Have mercy on me⁠; I’m a sinner. We repent⁠—we turn from our sinful thoughts and fears and actions, we turn from our limited vision, and we turn to You instead. Make our hearts clean. 

Show us Your faithfulness in Your Word and in our lives. Point out Your goodness to us so we can let that inform our understanding. Remind us of the folly and pain that come from trying to get our own way instead of trusting Yours, like Absalom and Ahithophel. Even when those we loved and held dear have betrayed us, YOU are trustworthy. YOU are our defender.

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.
