My Hope Is In Him

Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
    for my hope is in him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress where I will not be shaken.

My victory and honor come from God alone.
    He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

--Psalm 62:5-7 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

Out of the tranquility of my spirit, which brings peaceful clarity to my mind and quiet rest to my body, let me wait with expectation in Your presence, for my hope is in You alone—my refuge, my rock and my salvation.

Help me to listen to the recreated heart that You have placed within me—as by Your Holy Spirit You speak truth to my heart. 

Help me not allow the imaginations of my mind to give room for the attacks of the enemy, which would tempt me to act rashly and out of fear. 

Rather, let me wait in the peace and safety of Your Presence—that quiet place of rest that You provide to everyone who will place all their hope in You.

Remind me that if I remain in You—waiting confidently in Your Presence—You will not allow my faith to be shaken, but will protect me, help me stand on the solid ground of Your unchanging power, and save me from my all my enemies.

My victory and honor will come from You alone and only be made possible as I rely on Your power and might alive in me—for You are my dwelling place of safety where no enemy can reach me. 

May I will always give You the praise, honor, and glory—for You alone are worthy.

Out of the tranquility of my spirit, which brings peaceful clarity to my mind and quiet rest to my body, let me wait with expectation in Your presence, for my hope is in You alone—my refuge, my rock and my salvation.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
