And all His work is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.--Psalm 33:4-5
Father,
I confess my sin of rebellion against Your will and a lack of surrender to the "good" you do in my life. Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Shall the clay say to him who who forms it, "What are you making?' Who am I to reply against You, my Father in Heaven and my God over all??
I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right and in faithfulness you have afflicted me. I pray that Your merciful kindness be for my comfort. Let Your tender mercies come unto me that I may live for Your law is my delight. Strengthen my heart and let it be sound in Your statutes; that I may not be ashamed. Quicken me, Father, after Your lovingkindness so I can keep Your testimonies. Your work is perfect, O Lord. You rule in the kingdom of men! Rule in my heart, Father...I surrender all to You. I will, like Hannah, talk no more so very proudly nor will I let arrogance come out of my mouth, for You are the God of knowledge and by You actions are weighed.
It was through affliction, Father, that I sought You and humbled myself before You. I thank You then, for all You bring into my life. You rule over it all for my good and your glory. Help me, Father, by the power of Your Spirit, to surrender...to bring my heart to You and turn it upside down before You...to pour out my complaint to You and declare to You all my troubles. I will cast it all upon You...remembering that you care for me and will make perfect all that concerns me. You hedge me behind and before and lay Your banner of love over me. You are my refuge and underneath are Your everlasting arms. You brought ME near to You...an untouchable....you drew me with cords of love and spoke words of compassion to me. You manifest Yourself to me and have made my heart Your home. You call ME daughter...I will take courage.
I commit my soul to You, my faithful Creator...to You, my God, who judges righteously. I humble myself under Your mighty hand and cast all my care upon You, because truly You do care for me! I draw near to You, my Most High God and dwell in the beauty of Your presence. Your faithfulness is my shield and my great reward...I will not be ashamed nor afraid...I have placed my trust in You.
The Lord upholds all who fall,
And raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look expectantly to You,
And You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
And raises up all who are bowed down.

And You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in all His ways,
Gracious in all His works.
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.--Psalm 145:14-19
