Lord Jesus, it has been a great honor following You. Thank you for being a promise-making and a promise-keeping God. Indeed, You deserve all the praise and glory I could ever give. Today, I come to You to confess my sin of not trusting You with all of my heart. There are many times that I doubt Your faithfulness. But today, I am making the decision to let You govern my life again. I am repenting because even though I know You are a promise-keeper, my heart is still hard and stubborn.
Jesus, I’m sorry that I often get frustrated because my life is tough and challenging. I experience series of difficulties, pains, sicknesses, financial crises, and more. Sometimes, I even feel like there’s no hope anymore, that there’s no way out, that everything is permanent. I become too impatient that I fail to acknowledge Who You are and what You can do. You died on the cross for me, yet I doubt Your power. Please forgive me.
I need Your grace more than ever, Lord. I have been anchoring my life on what I can see alone, not in Your sovereignty. When faced with different adversities, I immediately lose sight of Your goodness and promises. And this is not how You want me to live. You have come to save me so that I may have peace, yet I always choose to worry and be anxious. But thank You because You keep on pursuing me and calling my attention.
Indeed, You are a faithful God who will slowly unfold His promises in my life. But I need to be still and let You do the work. So Jesus, please help me anchor my life on Your promises. Give me the strength to keep holding on to You because you have thousands of promises for me, and not one has ever failed. And also remind me that what’s for me will never slip away from my hands.
Today, Lord, may I rest in Your goodness and provisions. May I rest in the fact that You are always faithful, and this life is not about me but You. Again, I thank You for everything You’ve done for me and everything You’re about to do. Help me live for You. I surrender everything. In Jesus’ name, amen.
