And as your children, we bask in your complexity.

We will never understand all your ways, but we know you always know what is best and you always do what is best.

Have mercy on me, a sinner.

We repent of our sins before you, God, whether it's something as subtle as jealousy and anger, or even if it's the full-blown manifestation of those things in murder.

From the hatred in our hearts to the hatred in our hands, the blood of your Son Jesus is sufficient to cover it all.

There is no sin so great that your love and mercy isn't greater still.

We ask you to remind us of what you've given us to steward today.

Help us to make wise decisions when it comes to caring for your creation.

Your plan to make all things new has already begun, so continue working that out in us today.

Make our hearts for your creation mirror your heart.

We surrender our lives to you, Lord.

Every moment of our day, every decision we make, we yield our will and way to your perfect will and way.

Open our eyes this week to how your blessing surrounds and saturates your kids.

We love you too.

Amen.

Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for The Bible Recap.

Welcome to our December Reflections and Corrections episode.

Let's start with the Reflections.

We just finished our 66th book of the Bible and the 27th book of the New Testament, which means you've either finished reading the whole Bible or the whole New Testament.

Congratulations!
