Day 213

Father, 

Your heart is set on loving Your enemies and adopting them into Your family! That’s the whole reason we can even call You Father to begin with! We praise You for Your heart to include the outsiders and give us the opportunity to serve Your kingdom too! 

In the meantime, sometimes our efforts to serve You fall short. Sometimes we’re guilty of attempting righteous deeds that are more like filthy rags instead⁠—our motives are off or we worship with zeal but not according to true knowledge of You⁠—whatever those things are, would You reveal them to us? You have created us to do good works and You even do those works through us, so we need You to align our hearts and minds with Yours. We repent and ask You to make our hearts clean.

Would You draw us nearer to You today, God? Some of us may feel like You’re hiding Your face, so we ask You to reveal it. Some of us may feel like we’re on auto-pilot, so would shake us awake to the great joy of knowing You? This is no boring life You’ve called us to. Fill our time in Your Word with passion and delight. Truly, You’re where the joy is! 

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

We love You too. Amen.
