In Your Righteousness, I Rest and Trust

"Oh God, Your thoughts and your ways are higher than our ways; you've declared Your Righteousness to this world through Your deeds and Your Son, Jesus Christ."~ Jeremiah 55:4

O Jesus, you came to raise me up! You were born of the flesh like me, so I might become like you. Your love draws me nearer to Your grace. In Your power, you’ve united us in Christ and taught us how to live a godly life. Without Your wisdom and good deeds, I would be lost and live as the wicked do. O God incarnate, you save me, a dying woman! Your sacrifice satisfied the punishment of God’s wrath on my behalf.

In Your Fortress, I seek Refuge.

Watch over me, My God, so I may be a good servant, seeking and waiting patiently for Your return. My God, my Redeemer, my Friend, how long will you return to us? Show Your servant Your steadfast love and give me the strength to endure the difficult race ahead of me a bit longer.

Confess to Him who Forgives

Forgive me, O God, when my impatience set in by wanting justice sooner than Your will require it. Forgive my wanting earthly desires that lead me to sin against You. Keep my eyes off worldly sins and deception through television programs. Let my spirit grow from reading Your word and gain wisdom and discernment.

Journaling & Praising God

This is a note on my progress on the summer reading I started five weeks ago. I’ve enjoyed its simplicity and pace while the summer is booming with warmer days, travel plans, yard work, and family visits. It’s perfect!

“Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed His steadfasts love from me.” ~Psalm 66:20

Let’s Go Pray!
