Our Lord is great, vast in power; his understanding is infinite. He is my light and my salvation — whom should I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life — whom should I dread?

I will sing; I will sing praises. My whole source of joy is in you. Lord, calm my heart and turn my mind to your holy Word. Strengthen my weak faith. Turn my fearful heart towards trust-filled dependence upon you alone, in every circumstance in which you have brought me. Strengthen and encourage my heart to wait for you.
