Dear Lord,
I am troubled, and You are the only one I can turn to. As I call out to You, even before I finish telling You what’s wrong, You hear me and answer. You tell me that I am Yours. So I give my troubles to You and trust that You know what to do with them. Your plan will certainly be better than mine. I choose to trust You now, even though I don’t understand what You’re up to.
You are a good and a safe place where I can hide in times of trouble. Because I run to You, You open the door to me so I can hide in your safety.
I give myself to You, God. As I do, the devil sees You and runs away. He flees not because he’s afraid of me but because he knows better than to tangle with me when I am in You.
Even though my troubles are many, I will wait on You. I will be strong in You, and You will encourage my heart.
You give me peace because You have overcome the world. I ask that Christ’s peace control me, for You have called me into this peace through my friendship with You. You have also called me into fellowship with those who believe in You.
Help me to be thankful so that my discouragement and fear will lift and my mind will be free to trust You.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
Before they even call out to me,
I will answer them;
before they’ve finished telling me what they need,
I’ll have already heard.
