Day 078

Father,

We praise You for Your possession of us. Thank You that You own us fully. We are bought with a price, never to be returned, laid aside, or betrayed. There’s no one we would ever want to be owned by but You. Only You are the fullness of compassion, mercy, grace, patience, and justice.

We confess that in our independence or sense of self, we balk at the idea of submitting to You or being owned by You. We want to make our own decisions so we pretend You’re too busy to be involved or act like You’ve handed the reigns over to us. We seek You for our desires but not for our directives. We are selfish and we want to be self-governed. We repent of our many sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. Have mercy on us.

Would You assuage our fears or misconceptions and show us that Your ownership of us doesn’t carry the fear of abuse or misuse? Your possession of us leads to life, protection, love, and thriving!

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.
