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...

When my thoughts trouble me, I turn my troubled heart to you in prayer. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you. You are my Lord; I have no true, lasting good except in you. I trust in your rule over everything that concerns me. You hold my future. You are my refuge and strength, my Helper who is always found in times of trouble. Train my heart to not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas, though nations roar and disasters threaten. Thank you, LORD, for you are good. Your faithful love will bring me through.
