Respite For the Weary
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
I Peter 2:9
King Eternal,
Only by Your grace my children are Your chosen people. Remind and convict their hearts that they are not their own - that they belong to you. May they be full of wonder at the miracle which You performed in each of them - drawing them out of darkness into Your marvelous light!
O house of Israel, trust in the Lord--he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord--he is their help and their shield. You who fear him, trust in the Lord--he is their help and their shield. Psalm 115: 9-11
Dear Lord,
You implore us to trust you. Give us both the desire and ability to do so. We so badly want to do things our own way at times. May we say in full confidence that you alone are our help and shield. Amen.
