Day 237

Father, 

We praise You for the fact that we can pour out our hearts like water before You. You can handle all our emotions. You aren’t going to have a knee-jerk reaction to us and angrily lash out at us. You are patient and methodical, even as we falsely accuse You and misunderstand You.

And we have, God. Like the people of Judah, we’ve blamed You for our trials. Like Judah, we can say, “The Lord is in the right, for I have rebelled against His Word.” Our anger has been directed toward You instead of our own sin. Our longing has been for what we’ve lost or never had instead of for greater nearness and intimacy with You. And we repent. Please reshape and refocus our hearts, God.

We need to remember the right things. We need to remember Your goodness. Your mercy. Your compassion. We need to remember that we’re not alone. By Your Spirit, would You remind us of those things today? You haven’t forgotten us. We belong to You today and forever.  

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 love You too. Amen.
