Day 088

 Father, 

We praise You for being failproof! You have never failed us and You never will! We praise You for Your goodness to the Israelites and to all Your people. You are a promise maker and a promise keeper. Thank you for being dependable and true to who You say You are.

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. We confess that we’re often hasty and we jump to conclusions like the Western Tribes. We repent of not hearing others out when we misunderstand them. We repent of judging the motives and hearts and actions of our brothers and sisters when, unlike You, we only see things from our limited vantage point. 

Would You humble us and grant us patience toward others when there is division? Help us ask more questions and give us ears to truly listen. Soften our hearts so that we can respond reasonably and patiently, like the Western Tribes eventually did. We have a track record of disobedience, and we don’t listen well to You or anyone except ourselves. So please repeat Yourself to us. Spirit, please never stop prompting us toward words and actions that will honor You. Incline our hearts toward You. 

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 trust You because Your track record is perfect. 

We love You too. Amen.
