Day 178

Father, 

We praise You for Your closeness. We want Your nearness more than anything else. Thank You that don’t keep Yourself from us. Like Elijah, we have the privilege of Your presence and the comfort of Your voice—earthquakes and whirlwinds reveal how powerful You are, but the words on the pages of Your book reveal how personal You are.  

But it’s easy for us to forget. Like Elijah, we’ve been weary. At times, maybe we’ve even despaired of life itself. We’ve believed we were alone when we weren’t. You have always been there, in nearness and in kindness. We repent of letting our emotions speak louder than the truth. We repent of listening to ourselves more than we talk to ourselves.And listening to ourselves more than we listen to Your Word.  We repent of believing our feelings instead of Your Word. Have mercy on me. Make our hearts clean, God. 

It’s hard being human …. we don’t know all You know or see all You see, and we’re bound up in our flesh for the time being, so would You continue to grow our relationship with You so that we know and trust You more? Grow our knowledge of You and deepen our intimacy with You.

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.
