Day 115

Father, 

We praise You for being a God with a willing ear and a soft heart. It’s such a great comfort that we don’t have to know the answer to our prayers before we pray them—we can leave that in Your trustworthy hands. We can bring all our needs and desires to You, and You can be trusted to sift through them, answer “no” to the ones that aren’t a part of Your generous plan, and answer “yes” to the ones that are. And thank You that there’s no such thing as an unanswered prayer for any of Your children. You always hear us and always respond.

Like Simeon, we’ve cherished our fierce anger, we’ve been wrathful and cruel. Like Reuben, we’ve been sexually immoral. We deserve nothing but punishment for our sins, but You offer mercy and grace. You give us the Son and the Spirit. Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean.

Would You keep us from sin and keep us from harm? Would You bless us like only You can do? And even as we ask that, we know that we’re asking for more of YOU, because know that You are the greatest blessing of all. YOU’RE where the joy is!

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.
