Psalm 62

v. 5 and 8  Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.


Father I need rest.  Physical rest, for sure, but mostly rest and peace in my heart.  I have moved away from you and chased my selfish and foolish desires.  I sometimes feel like I don't know the way back.  Please grab me.  I know you are able.  I know you desire that I walk with you.  Help me desire nothing more than you.  Be my refuge, hope and rest.  I love you and I need you.  Amen.

Psalm 61

v. 4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

Father I do long for you.  At least I want to.  I want to long for you.  You never let me go and your care for me is unbelievable.  Help me to believe.  Help me to know you and to find all I need in you.  I am so easily discontented.  I get tired.  I get frustrated.  I get lonely and scared.  I need you Jesus.  You are all I need.  Put the joy in my heart that comes from seeking only You.  Amen.

Psalm 60

v. 4  But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.


Lord God, help me to fear you.  Help me to cling to you as you fight my battles.  Help me to trust you and stand behind you as you take up my cause.  I don't want to fight you.  I don't want to run from you.  I don't want to disobey.  But I do.  My life feels hard.  I fail to trust your goodness.  I am sorry.  Hold me Jesus.  Amen.

Psalm 59

v. 17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.

Father, help me understand what it means to love you, trust you, praise you, obey you, and rely on you.  I need you.  I need help.  I am swimming in futility.  Be my strength and fortress.  Grab my heart and draw me close.  Amen.
