Day 207

Father, 

We praise You for the fact that You in Your holiness joyfully use imperfect people like us and Abraham and Jacob and the people of Israel. You’ve written us into Your story, and You’ve blotted out our sins for Your own sake. Your forgiveness of our sins shows how incredibly forgiving and merciful You are. What a GIFT it is to know You, and what an UNDERSTATEMENT that is! We don’t have praise enough to offer You! 

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We don’t do much kavah-ing, God. We’re driven by unholy fears to such a degree that they feel normal. We start to view them as our natural instincts and we don’t know how to be bound and joined to You when we’re so tightly bound to all our hypothetical worst case scenarios. Help us, God. Remind us who You are. We don’t want to forget, like the Israelites. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean and our memories strong.

Would You bind us together with You, join us to Yourself, meet with us, cause us to confidently expect in and trust You, strengthen us to endure… We can only mount up and fly if we fly on Your wings, God, so bind our wandering hearts to Yours today and forever. 

We love You too. Amen.
