What Do You Count On?

 

The best-equipped army cannot save a king,

        nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.

Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—

        for all its strength, it cannot save you.

But the LORD watches over those who fear him,

        those who rely on his unfailing love.

 

    —Psalm 33:16-18 (NLT)

 

Almighty God, My Father,

 

Watch over me today and always.  Help me to fear nothing and no one, but You.  Help me to rely completely on You—and on the mighty, saving and delivering power of Your unfailing love for me!

 

You teach me through Your Word that a king should not count on a great army to be able to protect and save him, nor should a warrior believe that his great strength is enough to deliver him, nor that his warhorse will bring him victory.

 

So, help me to examine my heart and remove those things that I may have allowed to become my “warhorse”—those things in which I have foolishly placed my trust and hope, for my safety, salvation, and deliverance.

 

Keep me from the false hope that comes from allowing anything to remain in my heart that would try to take Your rightful place—and let true hope fill my heart until all that is left in my heart is my complete faith and trust in You alone.

 

Watch over me today and always.  Help me to fear nothing and no one, but You.  Help me to rely completely on You—and on the mighty, saving and delivering power of Your unfailing love for me!

 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Trust . . . With All Your Heart

 

 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding.
 In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.

 

—Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

 

 

Sovereign and Loving LORD,

 

May I always trust You with all my heart, so that I do not rely on my own understanding but seek Your will in all that I do—knowing You will show me the path I should take.

 

Help me to lean only on You—to trust You completely, and to remain confident that You have great plans for me—as I commit my love and surrender my life to You.

Help me not to depend on my own limited insights or understanding of things, but rather to put my trust in Your unlimited wisdom and understanding—always confident that You love me and always want what is best for me.

 

Help me understand that as I choose to trust You—more than I trust myself—You will show me what I should do and will remove every obstacle from my path, and bring me to that place where You have called me to live in Christ.

 

May I always trust You with all my heart, so that I do not rely on my own understanding but seek Your will in all that I do—knowing You will show me the path I should take.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

My Only Hope

 

The best-equipped army cannot save a king,

        nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.

Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—

        for all its strength, it cannot save you.

But the LORD watches over those who fear him,

        those who rely on his unfailing love.

Which Path to Take
