Lord, when we stubbornly think our limited human efforts can change our circumstances, and throw up our hands in frustration that nothing we’ve tried has worked, do You look down from Heaven, sigh and say, “Now are you gonna let me have this?” Lord God, You are truly the only One we can trust to change us. And from experience, we know people are fickle, saying “Good Luck” as they separate themselves from us. What the prophet Isaiah witnessed You do for broken people centuries ago is still in effect today. Isaiah wrote, “You ‘delight’ to take broken people, shattered lives, and by Your power, transform them into new creations. You make something beautiful from ashes, give overflowing joy that replaces mourning, and continuous praise that dispels the spirit of despair” (Isaiah 61:1–3). Lord, You change it all. It’s all You, Jesus.
Lord, as Your faithful servant J.A. said, Your changes last! Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
