Day 197

Father, 

We praise You for tenderheartedness, for the fact that You drench Your enemies in Your tears. It’s so merciful of You to weep over Moab. Your compassion is on display when You treat Damascus, Syria, with kindness just because of their connection to Your people. Your goodness is so abundant that it spills out into the lives of those who are adjacent to Your family members!

Like Babylon and possibly Lucifer, there have been times when we’ve wanted to be You instead of serve You. We want things to bend to our will and for us to have ultimate control. We believe our ways are right and best. We haven’t walked in humility or repentance. But in this moment, You’ve granted us repentant hearts to confess the truth, so we lean in. 

Would You help us adjust to the parts of Your sovereignty that chafe against us? When our hearts feel frustrated by it, help us see how beautiful and comforting it can be that our very good Father can be trusted to be in charge. 

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.
