Day 224

Father, 

We praise You for Your great love. It changes us. It comforts us when we lose our relationships or when we despair of our lives, like Jeremiah. It empowers us to speak truth to those in power—like Jeremiah did to King Zedekiah—because we know You are more powerful still. Your love is the bedrock of our lives.

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 have been the clay, accusing the Potter. We’ve been like the people of Judah, following our own plans according to the stubbornness of our own hearts. And we repent. 

Would You grant us hearts to obey You? Our deepest intimacy with You and our greatest joy is found in being close to You. And that intimacy comes through obedience. Your Word says YOU are the one who works in us both to want and to do what You desire. So please, pour out Your grace on us—Your grace is an agent of change—and let it create the “want” in us and create the “do” in us. 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every want, every do—we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
