Day 24: Thank You, my loving and sovereign God, that my Failures and Mistakes are part of All things you work together for good...as well as my Tensions and Stresses, my Hostile and Anxious feelings, my REGRETS, my trips into SHAME and SELF BLAME- and the specific things that TRIGGER them. I praise you that All things, including these, can contribute to my spiritual growth and my experience of you...when my heart is overwhelmed, IM MORE AWARE OF MY NEED TO CRY TO YOU To take refuge in you...to rely on YOU. I rejoice that these things keep reminding me to DEPEND on YOU with all my heart...that they prompt me to TRUST in your love.. your FORGIVENESS, your POWER your sufficiency, your ability to overrule and your transforming presence within ME. Thank You for the ways that my short-comings and failures bring PRESSURE on me to OPEN myself to you more FULLY, and the way they let you show me deep and HIDDEN needs, My Griefs and hurts that ive NEVER poured out before you, that ive never EXPOSED to your healing touch, and sins that ive never FACED and acknowledged. How GRATEFUL i am for your CONSTANT cleansing as I confess each SIN you make me AWARE of, and then turn back to you as my Lord. I praise you that Im free from condemnation simply because Christ DIED for me and rose again...that it doesnt depend on how WELL we live. I praise you for how you use my sins and failures to HUMBLE me, and for how this opens me to the inflow of your grace----Amazing Grace, that enable me to hold my head high, not in PRIDE but in humble gratitude for your undeserved, UNCHANGING love and Total Cleansing!
