You have given me greater joy
than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
—Psalm 4:7-8 (NLT)
Gracious LORD,
Thank You that there is no greater joy—nor any deeper peace—than that which is given by Your hand to those who fully trust in You.
When I see others reaping
a harvest of momentary happiness from an abundance of material gains, help me
remember that only You can give the lasting rewards of joy and peace—rewards
which are far beyond anything this world has to offer.
Comfort me with the
assurance that I can overcome every discouragement and disappointment that I
face—when my faith is strong, steady and unchanging—knowing that You love me,
that You are always in control, and that You are working in every situation for
my good.
Help me to learn to trust
You more each day, so I can lie down and sleep in perfect peace, knowing that
You alone, O LORD, are able and will keep me safe in every way—mentally,
emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Thank You that there is no greater joy—nor any deeper peace—than that which is given by Your hand to those who fully trust in You.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
