God Is Still God

 

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 56.4, 10-11

In God I trust,

is not just written on our coins,

   but on our hearts.

To rely on,

be confident in, 

stand securely 

   and sure in Him.

No matter what is

  swirling around us,

God shows us who to be,

what to do,

how to respond,

not just how to get through this,

   but Trust Me in this.

And that always leads us

        to a different place.

God knows what He is doing,

   even if we cannot,

   even in this.

When we set our hope

and confidence in the Almighty,

   there is no room for fear.

At the end of the day,

       God is still God.

God hears our cries.

He is already acting on it.

O LORD,

In You we trust.

Show us how that looks today,

in whatever we encounter,

in whatever concern

   is weighing us down,

in whatever fear

   is paralyzing us.

Cover us, dear Father.

Help us to trust in You,

  help us to trust You,

and know how to respond differently

  because in God I trust.

Help us to know trust is not a passive verb

   but an intentional action.
