Trusting

Dear Lord,

I have spent a lot of time in fear, afraid of the future, the past, and the present. Sometimes I’m even terrified that You won’t come to my rescue.

But I’ve got it all wrong. You’re the one who holds on to me, and You’ll never let go. All I need to do is leave my fears with You, for You can turn the plans of the enemy into miracles.

I will save myself from so much anxiety when I finally realize that You are trustworthy. With You on my side, no one can knock me down, no one can take me out of Your hand or remove Your love from me.

Yes, I can trust You. You never back away from me. Instead, You open Your arms wide.

I will trust You with all my heart. I will stop trying to figure out what to do about my problems and seek You. You will show me the direction You want me to take. You will make things come together for the good.

You will keep me in perfect peace through whatever I go through. I will keep my thoughts on You and will trust You always, for You are my God, my eternal Rock.

I dedicate my every step to You. I know that You will help me and will answer my every prayer.

In the name of Jesus, amen.

But when I am afraid,

I will put my trust in you.

I praise God for what he has promised.

I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?

What can mere mortals do to me?

all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
