Episode 403: Trust

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Trust

I trust in you, Father, with all my heart and do not lean on my own understanding. I submit all of my ways to you, and you make the path straight before me. 

I am blessed because I trust in you. My confidence is in you alone. I am like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. I don't fear when trouble comes, because I am like a tree whose leaves are always green. I am not concerned about lack, because my life always bears fruit. 

Whenever fear tries to come, I simply put my trust in you. I commit everything I do to you, Father, and you establish my plans. 

When I pass through the waters, you are there with me. When I pass through the rivers, they do not sweep over me. When I walk through the fire, I am not burned, the flames do not set me ablaze. 

Each morning brings me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. You show me the way I should go. I entrust my life to you. 

I approach you with confidence, Father, beause I know that if I ask anything according to your will, you hear me. And I know that when you hear me—whatever I ask—you will provide.

I dwell in your shelter. I rest in your shadow. You are the Most High, the Almighty. You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. 

I am not moved by what I see, hear or feel, because I live by faith, not by my senses. Father, you keep my feet steady, and do not allow me to slip. You watch over me and never slumber. 

I look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store food away in barns, and yet you feed them, Father. How much more than the birds do you love me? 

I say with confidence, you are my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? I trust in you and you keep me safe. You meet all my needs according to the reihes of your glory in Christ Jesus. 

I follow the instructions you have given me in your word, Father, and I prosper. I am blessed because I trust in you. 

You will never leave me; you will never forsake me. I commit my way to you. I trust in you and you make my righteous reward shine like the dawn, my vindication like the noonday sun. I trust in you and do good; and I dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 

I rely on your love for me. How abundant are the good things you have stored up for me. You bestow them on me in the sight of all, because I take refuge in you. In you, whose word I praise—in you I trust and am not afraid. 

You are good, and a refuge in times of trouble. You care for me and I trust in you. You are my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in you, and you help me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise you. 

You keep me in perfect peace, Father. My mind is steadfast because I trust in you. I know I can always trust you. You have never forsaken those who seek you. I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing your praise, for you have been so good to me. 

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, your unfailing love for me will not be shaken nor your covenant of peace be removed. You have compassion on me. I remain confident of this: I will continue to see your goodness in the land of the living. 

Truly you are my rock and my salvation; you are my fortress, I will not be shaken. 

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
