Day 076

Father, 

We praise You for sending Your Son Jesus to die on the cross. Jesus, we praise You for receiving the punishment we deserve. God, we praise You for leaning into the grace over the long course of history, for showing Your great patience and mercy to Your kids.

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 repent of our rebellion against You and of all the times when we questioned Your heart. We admit that part of our motivation in acquiring things for ourselves has been self-reliance. We repent of looking to anything but You for our security in this life or the next. You are always sufficient. Help us to purge the sin from our own hearts, first and foremost, by the power of Your Spirit. 

Would You turn our hearts back to You today? We want to rely on You fully. You alone provide what we need to live the life You have planned for us. Make and keep us humble. We aren’t kings but we act like it sometimes. Remind us who You are and who we are in light of You. Protect us from viewing wealth as a fortress and looking to it for our provision and protection. 

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.
