Day 084

Father, 

We praise you for showing mercy and grace to those You show mercy and grace. None of us deserve any of that from You.  All we’ve earned is death, so every bit of mercy or grace You pour out shows us Your compassion toward Your people. We praise You even for the things you do that we disagree with, because we know that if we knew everything You know, we would see how Your ways are nothing less than perfectly righteous. 

We repent of trying to making You into our image and force You to bend to our understanding of what is right and just. We repent of lying to protect ourselves, pretending to be something we aren’t. We repent of not seeking Your guidance and forging ahead on our own. We confess that we have put You in a box, asking for small things because we think they’re doable. Help us to ask BIG of You, God, because You are BIG, and there’s no limit to what You can accomplish. 

You are a God who speaks of our future before it has come to pass. Align our hearts with Your plans, God; and where there any misalignment remains, grant us the humility to surrender and submit our ways to Yours. Like Joshua, help us to do all You command. When our days are long and our battles are longer, grant us persistent obedience. But also grant us hope—help us to keep our eyes fixed on our merciful, miracle-working God.  

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.
