Simply profound

2015 COVER

Psalm 19

Question:

How is your faith story taking shape? What is there for you to say about your experience of God?


Prayer:

Help me focus on what I know about your goodness, God. Where I have questions, help me trust you. When I can no longer see my way, make me rely on you. When I feel that I’ve arrived on my own, remind me that you are with me. When I’m ready to take all the credit, take the attention for yourself. I want the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart to be acceptable to you, my rock and my redeemer. Amen.
