I do not occupy myself

with things too great

and too marvelous for me.

But I have calmed

    and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child

             with its mother,

like a weaned child

    is my soul within me.

               Psalm 131. 1-2

(What is right before me today?

God is with me, even in this.

      "Right here with you."

Worry is running ahead of God

   and being distracted by

   what is not in my control anyway,

                        but His.

Worry is leaving God Almighty

            out of the picture.)

O LORD,

Help me to walk with You

     through this,

 in what I know,

and what I cannot yet see.

May I rest in Your arms

   and let You not just comfort me,

but strengthen me

    for both the now and not yet.

You redeem.

No matter the circumstances,

    You do not abandon us,

but draw us closer to You.

Help me in all that I do see

      to be faithful to You

      in all things,

        both great and small.

And realize that

  faithfulness is never insignificant.
