It was a stressful week. I left myself encouraging Post-it
notes from various devotionals and Scripture (Upper Room, Scripture Union, Psalm
62, Isaiah 40). Gathering up the scraps of paper at week’s end, I realized that
they formed a prayer!
Generous God, I prayerfully weave these scraps of
inspiration…
Carry a little quiet inside you. Have some extra calm to
share.
Yes, my soul, find rest in God.
Forgive me for being intimidated by things in daily life.
I long to trust you more fully.
Truly you are my rock and my salvation. You are my
fortress. I will not be shaken. God is my refuge.
Let go of effort, the illusion of control and surrender
to God.
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they
will walk and not be faint.
Amen.
