“You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath.”Interlude.We are merely moving shadows,
and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth,
not knowing who will spend it.And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?
My only hope is in you.—Psalm 39:5-7 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Make that breath, which is my life, an unhurried one. May I truly set my hope in You alone!
Let this moment, which is my short life here on earth, count
for something more than just a breath of frantic rushing around—of trying to
accomplish worldly goals which, in the end, make little difference at all.
And don’t let me spend the little time I am given here
just trying to accumulate money or possessions—only to lose it all to someone
else in the end.
Rather, let me walk unhurried through my life here on
earth—just as Jesus did with You—so that when You want to interrupt my plans
with that which really matters, I will hear You, obey and walk in Your
purposes.
Let me live in the truth that only what I am invited to
join with You in doing will last for eternity.
Make that breath, which is my life, an unhurried one. May I truly set my hope in You alone!
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
