I am a firsthand witness to my own anarchy and
rebellion. I would rather remain silent and hope that these proclivities simply
fade away, yet I know better. So I confess my weaknesses and failures to Him
who is both Advocate and Judge. As Judge He acts with unwarranted mercy. As
Advocate He stands for my defense and pays my debt with His own life, granting right
standing to the undeserving. Lord God, Redeemer and Friend of Sinners, You who
are Savior of All, Healer of the Incurable and Defender of the Defenseless, to
You alone be all glory forever and ever.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
