“I will run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.” Psalm 119:32

My heart has felt distant from you, Lord. Being out of my schedule can bring a sense of disorientation.

However, my stability, peace and sense of rightness should actually come from you alone, O God, not from the structure of my life.

As your Word says, “My God is my rock in whom I take refuge. He is my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold” (Ps. 18:2b).

So, whether I am firmly in a comfortable schedule, or my life is chaotic, you are there, Lord God. You are

solid,

sure,

always loving,

kind and firm.

You are my Light,

my Love,

my Life.

This unsettledness is actually a positively powerful thing,

surfacing my wrong dependence on

accomplishment,

achievement,

action,

maintaining control

and being good in my own strength.

Being unsettled also points me to repentance and setting my eyes and heart on you, Lord Jesus.

Prayer: “I praise you, Lord Jesus, for what your power and grace will do in and through me today, in spite of how I may feel and fail.

May all be for your glory. Help me to focus on you, draw my stability, wisdom, strength and understanding from you, Lord Jesus.

May I honor you in all I do today. Amen.”
