Day 175

Father, 

We praise You for Your goodness to us. We don’t deserve it. Thank You for the good things we gain in surrendering to Your will, even if we can’t see them or recognize them as good yet. We know we ultimately will, because You can’t do anything less than what is best! 

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. Like King Rey, we’ve forgotten our need for you, God. It’s so natural for us to lean into autonomy. We’ve built our own things to worship, and we repent. And also like King Rey, retaliation has crossed our minds at one point or another, and maybe we’ve even stepped up to the plate of revenge. We repent of that too, God. We look to You for the justice we can’t righteously work out.

Would You humble us, God? In the spaces where we are leaders, help us seek You first, not our own ways. In the spaces where we are followers, give us leaders who are after Your heart. We want to be about what You’re about. Help us. 

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.
