Today's Passage: Psalm 62:5-8

Today's Prayer: Lord, you alone are my strength and you alone are my hope. 

You alone sustain me. 

Lord, I confess that I find myself time and time again falling into the rhythm of trying to define my worth by my own productiveness – attempting to earn your love, earn your approval, by my own list of accomplishments. 

But you, Lord, have called me to something different. You have called me to come to a place that is quiet and still. You have called me to step away and create space for solitude. 

Lord, I long for the rest that only you can provide. My own efforts fail time and time again and leave me weary.

Your Word tells us that You make us lie down is green pastures. That you lead us by still waters and restore our souls. Remind us today that You are the provider of true and sustaining rest. Remind us that your promised rest is greater than anything we can achieve by our own strength. 

Lord, we pray today that you will enable us to quiet our thoughts and sit with you in the stillness. We ask that as we remove the distractions of our day, you will reveal yourself to us in a new way. We trust that you will alone sustain us.

Lord, you alone are my strength and you alone are my hope. 

You alone are my rest.

For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.
