Day 128

Father, 

We praise You for Your trustworthiness and Your sheer delightfulness! Thank You for Your friendship, for sharing Your secrets with us. We praise You for the fact that Your goodness and uprightness draws You TO sinners⁠—because we are sinners, and we’d be lost without You! And even though we’re sinners, we praise You that our identity isn’t defined by that. We’re sinners who have been rescued by and marked by the righteousness of Christ! Because His righteousness covers us and His payment for our sins was so complete, we’re free to confess our sins to You without fear of punishment! Thank You for loving us too much to let us continue in sin, for bringing it to our attention by the power of Your Spirit so that we can repent of it.

And we do repent, God. We’ve thought of ourselves too highly, we’ve lied, we’ve planned to sin… we’ve been wicked in so many ways, and yet You have graciously drawn us into repentance over and over again. Once again, we repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean.

Would You impress upon us the power of our words today? What we say matters, and who we say it to matters, and we want to take our grumblings and our complaints to You, the only One in charge, the only One who can do anything about it anyway!

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

We love You too. Amen.
