Day 127

 

Father, 

Why are You so nice to us? Thank You for not giving us everything we want. You have better ideas. And even if You never give us anything but Your presence, Your nearness itself is a blessing to us, like it was to the house of Obed-edom. We praise You for Your kind heart toward us—even Your “no” can be trusted as best, even Your “no” is a kindness.

We repent of any resentment we’ve accumulated against You for when you answered our prayers with “no”. We repent of bitterness we feel toward others who get a “yes” from You. We don’t want to be like Michal, judging from our towers and seething at a distance. We turn from our sins and our selfish anger and we turn to You. Make our hearts clean.

Would You give us a lens for Your kindness? GIve us eyes to see everything through the lens of Your blessing and goodness to Your kids. Give us faith to trust You know best when You tell us “no” or “wait”. And give us hearts that desire the kinds of things You delight to say “yes” to! 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every answer to our prayers, 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.
