Psalm 33

18Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 19to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield. 21Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. 22Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

Lord,
To make personal the words of the poet, your eye is on me. Do I fear you? Absolutely! It is not that I am afraid of you, though perhaps I am, but I stand in absolute awe of you and your creation and Jesus whom you sent. Even with all my sin, I stand in awe of you and my mind and heart are overwhelmed with wonder and I fear you. Do I hope in your steadfast love? Yes I hope, help my uncertainty. Though I say the words with overwhelming humility and ineffable gaps in understanding, I believe that you love me with a steadfast love and I am grateful.

Even as I engage the day and the work that is before me, I wait for your continuing wisdom and guidance and I trust myself completely to your steadfast love.

Forgive my failures to trust and continually put me in the right path.

PERSONAL PRAYERS:
Ask God to help you to receive the “steadfast love” that God has for you.
Affirm that God steadfastly loves you.
Name 5 things for which you are grateful and say “thank you” to God.
In Christ’s name,
Amen.
