I will trust in You, My Lord, for in so doing I will prosper and all of my needs will be met. I take delight in the fact that You’ve promised to give me the desires of my heart. As a result of committing myself and all that I possess to You, I am assured that You will bless me. To guide my life, You have provided me with an example of right living and good judgment. You have ordered my steps and shown me how to build my life on a sure foundation. I am content in the knowledge that wherever those steps take me I will find contentment and rest. Even though I stumble and fall, I trust that You will never let evil prevail in my life. Instead, You will lift me up and lead me down a path to victory. Throughout my life, I have seen good men stumble but not be forsaken … become confused but not lose their way … and, seen their impossibilities turned into possibilities. With You, a new day offers a new beginning … another obstacle produces a path around it … and, sorrows are turned into joy. How wonderful it is to be a child of God!!
Assist me in finding a way to contentment as I wait patiently for Your guidance. Help me not fret as look to You for my deliverance. Calm me so that I resist anger and forsake wrath. I want to be humble, like You, so that I can inherit the bounties of Your Kingdom. Help me find delight in the peace and rest that comes from a surrendered life. Help me understand that the little of a righteous man is better than the riches of the wicked. For You know the ways of this servant and You offer me an inheritance that includes eternal life and days filled with contentment. Help me reframe from being a taker and show me how to become a giver … for You show love and mercy to those who give generously. Help me escape the clutches of evil and do good so that I might dwell in Your house forever. I know that if I walk in righteousness, I will dwell in You and Your blessings will cause me to flourish. I want my actions to give a lasting testimony of Your love and kindness. I believe that as I continue to walk in Your ways You will not remove Your Spirit from me nor condemn me with Your righteous judgment.
These are the things that cause me to watch to see You work in my life. As a result, I will strive to exalt You in whatever circumstances I find myself. I will stand in Your power and might so that my enemies do not prevail over me. I will forever keep You in my thoughts by giving thanks for all You do to bless me. I will be confident in times of trouble knowing that You are standing with me and want to deliver me from them all. It is in contemplating these things that has caused me to realize the wonder of belonging to You. And it’s in Jesus ’name I pray. AMEN!!
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give You rest. Take up my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. Because my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
