But I Have Trusted in Your Mercy...

O LORD my God, in You I put my trust;

My defense is of God,

Who saves the upright in heart.—Psalm 7:1;10

Father...So often I succumb to the burdens I carry that are just too heavy for me.  They monopolize my thoughts and twist my thinking.  David’s confidence in God is the backbone of this Psalm.  Praying today, that by Your grace, I can be like David is here!  

—Today, Father, I place my trust in You.  

—Today, I will roll each one of my burdens into Your care, trusting that You are sufficient.  

—Today, I will trust in the steadfast, unfailing love and mercy of my God. You will make perfect that which concerns me. 

—Today, I will praise You with a composed and confident heart that is immersed in Your love. 

—Today, I will wait patiently for You, my mighty God, to do exceedingly abundantly on my behalf.  

Thank you, ABBA, for the privilege of casting my cares into Your all capable hands.  You have and will deal bountifully with me. 

Unless the LORD had been my help,

My soul would soon have settled in silence.

If I say, "My foot slips,"

Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.

In the multitude of my anxieties within me,

Your comforts delight my soul.—Psalm 94:17-19

I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.  (Psalms 7:17, ESV)
