Day 195

Father, 

You are our peace! And we praise You for that! May You be increasing in our lives all the time, and may we be decreasing⁠—that’s the path to peace and joy, because that’s the path to more of YOU!  

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We turn FROM our sins TO You and ask You to make our hearts clean. We have detested justice. We’ve cried peace when there is no peace. We’ve been greedy and our greed has led to all kinds of sin and oppression. We’ve ignored the cries of the needy. And we’ve relied on our freedom and wealth as our safety net, imagining we’re too strong to be toppled, instead of looking to YOU. And we repent. 

Where Your Spirit has brought conviction of our sins, humble us to receive it and repent. Show us how to specifically respond to anything You’ve shown us. Give us hearts that want to learn and grow and change. We don’t want to be like Jerusalem and Samaria and their people, who didn’t listen to repeated warnings from Your prophets. Open our ears, God. 

We surrender our lives and our hearts and our ears to You⁠—and we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
