Something Greater

Lord, my heart feels frustrated and resentful towards people and circumstances. Open my mind to consider what you have done, and are doing, and will do in, and around, and through me...even in this difficult time. Make my heart to trust in your strength and wisdom in all things, pleasing or painful. Lead me into trust-filled patience and compassion and genuine love for you and for those you have brought into my life. Thank you, Lord, for your goodness, for your faithful love, even in my distress and fear. You are for me; I will not be afraid. You are my helper; I will not give in to despair or anger. Bring to my mind today a song of praise, a prayer of trust, and a shout of victory. I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what you have done! Do what is best, Lord, as you teach my unruly, ungrateful, disobedient heart and mind to trust and obey your holy Word. Satisfy my heart with the promise and presence and preciousness of Jesus, my Redeemer, Savior and Ki...

How long will I store up anxious concerns within me, agony in my mind every day? How long will worries, threats, weakness, and frustration dominate me?  Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Why are you in such turmoil? Put your hope in God, for He is our Savior and our God! LORD my God, restore brightness to my eyes. I know that I am always with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel. You have promised me a home with you in glory. I desire nothing on earth but you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but you, my God, are the strength of my heart, my portion forever. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who trust in him only and ever.  In you alone, God my Father, do I place my hope.
