Day 181

Father, 

We praise You for the fact that You hear us and save us in our affliction. Thank You that no matter what terrible things may happen to us, we’re in a relationship with a trustworthy God. You’ve already rescued us from the penalty of sin and from death, so there is no other rescue that’s too great for You. You can do it all.

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 Jehoshaphat, we’ve made a lot of unrighteous concessions in order to keep the peace. We’ve built alliances with people who are Your enemies in order to gain approval or power, or even just to avoid conflict. We repent of ignoring wisdom and of looking to others to give us what we want. We turn our eyes and hopes from them and fix them on You instead.

God, like Jehoshphat, we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on You. Direct our steps to follow Your plan, and align our hearts with the things that delight Yours. 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and our way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
