Day 208

Father, 

Thank You for delighting in knowing us, for never leaving us hanging when we try to get to know You. We know more about You today than we did yesterday, because You faithfully, patiently listen to our questions and confusions and doubts. Thank You for not giving up on us, because we still have so much to learn about You! We praise You for the fact that we never seek You in vain⁠—You will always meet us in this space.  

Have mercy on me, a sinner. Like Babylon, we are loaded down with idols. They are heavy, God. Money and the perfect body and marriage and children and new things⁠—we want so much stuff, God. It dominates our thoughts and our social media feeds and our conversations. And when we get honest with ourselves, we know we don’t want to carry it anymore. Deep down, our hearts know that what they really want is YOU. We want to be carried by YOU instead of carrying around all these desires that we think will fulfill us. Deep down we know we are being deceived. So we repent of our sins, drop of our idols, and turn to You instead.

Carry us, God.

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.
