Thank You, LORD, for loving me, even though I’m a miserable failure. Thank You for loving me even though I am selfish and waste so much time and thought on earthly things. Thank You, LORD, that You forgive me for my sins. Thank You, Father, that every morning begins a brand new day, a fresh new start. Thank You, LORD, for Your compassion and mercy. Thank You that You continue to work in me. Thank You that the point is not that I have to be perfect, but that I am to believe in Jesus and be willing to let You make the changes in me that are needed in order to become more and more like Jesus.
I trust You, Father. I don’t understand a lot of things right now, but You understand everything perfectly, and You are in charge of my life, so just like when Dad used to drive the car with us kids in the back seat, and we didn’t need to worry about how we were going to get where we were supposed to get, because Dad was driving, and he always knew the way…just like that we can trust You to get us to the the right place at the right time.
I trust You, Father.
Thank You, Father, that You love me, and therefore I don’t have to fear. You take care of me and provide for me and get me where I need to go when I need to be there. You keep track of everything for me and have already figured it all out.
I have caused myself so much pain by trying to do Your job, Father. I’ve tried so hard to figure things out, things that I can’t know, things that only You know, Father. Why have I worked so hard at something so futile? Please forgive me. Help me to rest in You, Father.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
