Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.—Psalm 62:8 (NKJV)
Loving Father God,
Grant me the wisdom to trust You at all times, to pour out my heart before You, and to find my place of perfect refuge in 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
my 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
become tempted to walk off in my own strength and forget 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 may wander, You remain a ready refuge for me—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—as You wait patiently for
me to put all of my trust in You.
Grant me the wisdom to trust You at all times, to pour out my heart before You, and to find my place of perfect refuge in You!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
