Day 164

Father, 

We praise You for the way You always fulfill Your promises! Thank You for coming to dwell here on Earth with us. You showed up and turned everything upside down in the best way possible—healing the blind, feeding the hungry, freeing the captives, and raising the dead, including us. You have brought our dead hearts to life by Your presence, because You are life itself! 

How quickly we forget our need for You and we lean into autonomy and self-reliance. 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 are blind, hungry, captive, and dead without You. You give us eyes to see, You feed us and free us, and we need You in every moment. 

When we look to ourselves, fix our eyes on You. When we look to other things to sustain us, draw us back to Your Word and Your presence. When we’re in bondage to the sin we hate and the sin that we love, give us Your strength to walk in freedom and give us Your heart to love the right things and hate our sin. May Your goodness and glory be so obvious and evident in our lives that others are drawn to YOU because of it!

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.
