My Precious Lord, as I open my heart to You, it allows me to take refuge in Your arms and find true fulfillment. You are my Rock, Fortress and Deliverer who I count on in times of need. You are my Shield that assures me of safety and protection. Great is the kindness You have shown me as I’ve learned to trust You more. Since my confidence in our relationship is growing, I find myself becoming more like You. Under Your influence, I stay within Your constant care and guidance. As my trust in You grows, I become more closely bound to You in a bond of love. As my faith grows, I will call on You when I find myself in a struggle or turmoil. When I have no one that I can rely on, I will turn to You. I believe that, if I put my life in Your hands, I will be safe and at peace. As I stand in awe of Your power, love and devotion to me, I become confident that I can count on You to be with me in whatever I face.
I know that even though I sometimes walk in darkness, I eventually turn back to You, repent and get myself back on track. If I walk in my own wisdom and strength, rejecting Your help, I am doomed to a life of torment and grief. If I seek Your help, I will be delivered from all of my trials. As I put my trust in You and walk in Your ways, my enemies have no chance of leading me astray. I know I can count on You to come to my aid and get me through any difficulty I face. Whenever I take delight in a relationship with You … my life is meaningful … I am content … and, I prosper in all that I do. When I commit my way to You and follow in Your footsteps, Your mercy and grace increase and my cup overflows. In trusting You, I have confidence that You will always come through for me. I know that You are not a man, prone to saying what is convenient, and what You say … You mean and will do.
When I place my trust in Your unfailing love, I flourish like a watered plant in the desert. As I dedicate myself to You, there is no room for fear. I have found that it is better to rely on You than look to men who are selfish and not dependable. If I place my trust in You, I will not be shaken and I’ll find the strength to stand my ground. As I study Your Word, I will grow in wisdom, gain insights into living in prosperity and learn how to avoid danger and trouble. You admonish me in Your Word to trust You with all of my heart, lean not on my own understanding and, in all my ways, acknowledge You. The fruits of these efforts show up when I walk in them. As I become familiar with Your ways and put them to work in my life, Your blessings will increase and I will be safe from harm. Therefore, it is an easy decision to place my trust in You, knowing that You will never let me down. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
