Day 233

Father, 

Thank You for never giving up on us. Spirit, thank You for convicting us of our sins instead of leaving us to wander off into captivity with hardened hearts. Jesus, thank You for paying our sin-debt fully so that even our future sins can’t separate us from the Father’s love. 

God, we have doubted Your clear instruction. At times, we’ve done what seemed best to us even when Your Spirit prompted us in another direction, like the people of Judah. We’ve brought others along in our sin, like they did with Jeremiah. We’ve blamed our problems on others. And like them, there are probably still areas of our hearts in which we haven’t humbled ourselves to this day. Would You bring those to mind so we can actively and specifically repent? Would You soften our hearts so that we can feel Your conviction when it’s a gentle prod instead of a hammer? 

We don’t want hard hearts, God. We want malleable, soft hearts that respond to You. Because You are merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, and You can be trusted to punish sin.

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.
