Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, You trust us with a great attribute that has the power to direct our lives. Knowing how untrustworthy we would be at times, You still created us in Your image, with the moral freedom to either choose or reject You. Your open arms welcome those who choose to accept Your grace through Jesus sacrifice on the cross, along with all the benefits of living in Your will. But You knew not everyone would choose You, so You willingly step aside and allow those who choose to reject You to go their own way and reap the benefits of doing their own will. As all Your followers encounter, we approach crossroads in our faith. On one road, Jesus stands saying, “Don’t be discouraged. We’re still walking together toward our heavenly home.” On the other road is our worst critic, the devil, tempting us to doubt Jesus is who He is and His Word won’t work for you. Help us override our emotions and choose to obey Your Word, acknowledging You know what is best for us.
Our prayer today is found in Ezekiel 36:26-27 “Give us a new heart and put a new spirit in us; Lord, You will remove from us our hearts of stone and give us a heart of flesh. And You will put Your Spirit in us and move us to follow Your decrees and be careful to keep Your laws.” The only way we will end hatred, division and racism is for You to change our hearts, oh, Lord.
Trusting You to change our hearts, Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
