Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.—Psalm 62:8 (NASB)
Heavenly Father,
Oh, that I would always completely trust You!
You call on me to trust You at all times. And I respond
with sporadic bursts of absolute trust which are intermingled with my struggles
over doubts and fears.
You plead with me to trust You in all situations and
under all circumstances. And while I find myself easily and completely trusting
You with some things, at the same time I catch myself wanting to have control
over other things—all the while
knowing in my heart that they are not mine to control.
You caution me to trust You with constancy, both in
good times and in bad. Yet, when things are going along fine, I
sometimes find that I have walked off in my own strength—having forgotten that
I am totally dependent on You—only to be driven back to you in desperation when
the next crisis comes crushing in on me.
You desire for me to pour out my heart to You. And I foolishly
choose to try to figure things out on my own, rather than to come into Your
Presence, share with You the concerns of my heart and allow You to heal all
my brokenness.
And all the while, no
matter where I wander, You remain a strong tower—a fortress of strength, a
place of protection, a storehouse of provision, a sanctuary of peace and an
overflowing fountain of joy—just waiting for me to put all of my trust in You.
Oh, that I would always completely trust You!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
