Oh Lord, thank you for the trials you bring us because it is in them that we learn to live by feeding on Your faithfulness. It is in our trouble that our own insufficiency is laid bare. It is in our griefs that we learn to trust You. It is here that we truly see that You and You alone do this good work in us. By Your Spirit today help us not to waver at Your precious promises through unbelief. Strengthen us in faith that we might give You glory even in the midst of our darkness and heartbreak. Give us steadfast hearts. Remind us in all that we read, see and hear that You are good and do good. Your paths for us are righteous and truth. Teach us to say with Eli, it is the Lord, let Him do as seems good to Him.
Your grace, Father, is sufficient. We have no reason to doubt. You are able to make us stand despite the powers of darkness or the misjudgments of people. Today we commit ourselves to You who judges righteously. May Your beauty be revealed in our brokenness.
Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;—Psalm 37:3-7
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
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 94:16-19
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'—Isaiah 41:10
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!—Psalm 84:11-12
