When I am afraid,

   I put my trust in You.

In God, whose word I praise,

        in God I trust;

I shall not be afraid.

What can flesh do to me?

               Psalm 56. 3-4

(How many of our decisions

are done out of fear

   instead of trusting God?

In God I trust is meant to be

not just imprinted on our coins

   but on our hearts.

In God I trust radically changes

what we see, what we do,

how we approach and navigate,

     and what we pursue,

not out of fear but in love

   and trusting the Almighty.)

O LORD,

May we trust You more.

May we listen and follow You,

trusting You one step

       and then the next.

Guide us on Your paths.

Help us to respond

            to what is real

and not be distracted

   by our broken imagination.

Help us to not waste

      our energy worrying

but build our strength

     by trusting You.
