I stay close to you,
and your powerful arm
supports me. ~ Psalm 63:8 (CEV)
(Paul wrote:) I know the one in whom I’ve placed my trust. I’m convinced that God is powerful enough to protect what he has placed in my trust until that day. ~ 2 Timothy 1:12 (CEB)
God, I am sticking close to you. Not only are you trustworthy but you are also powerful. There is not anyone or anything that can defeat you. I know this but I need to be reminded -- especially when bad things happen. I panic. I get scared. I worry -- as though it all depends on me to fix. I know, though, that it all rests in your powerful hands. So, I'm going to quit being afraid. And I am going to stay close to you -- where I belong. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
