psalm 131 prayer


Loving Father,

As a child rests against his mother, I rest against you.
My understanding is small, but yours is great.
My arms are weak, but yours are strong.
My future’s uncertain, but you are Lord over eternity. 

I find my understanding in knowing you, 
my strength in trusting you, 
my hope in your promises.

Loving Father, my heart is anxious. Calm me. 
My soul is dark. Cleanse me.
My mind’s corrupt. Change me.

That I may be like your Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

    2. It's one of my favs, absolutely. Keith introduced me to it, which always helps.
