Save me, O God, because I have come to you for refuge. I said to him, “You are my Lord; I have no other help but yours.” Psalm 16:1-2 Living Bible
Heavenly Father,
Teach me to trust You even when I do not know where You are going.
Help me to surrender and not turn inward into myself out of fear.
The storms and winds of life, O Lord, blow strongly all around me.
I cannot see in front of me. Sometimes I feel like I am going to drown.
Lord, You are centered, utterly at rest and peace.
Open my eyes that I might see You are with me on the boat. I am safe. Awaken me, Jesus, to Your presence within me,
around me, above me, and below me.
Grant me grace to follow You into the unknown,
into the next place in my journey with You.
In Your Name, Amen.
But in the day that I’m afraid, I lay all my fears before you
and trust in you with all my heart.
What harm could a man bring to me?
With God on my side I will not be afraid of what comes.
Psalm 56:3-4a The Passion Translation
