To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
Psalms 25:1 (ESV)
Lord Jesus, my soul rejoices and finds its ultimate peace in knowing that You are always here, always listening to me, and always answering me. True, I may not get the response I want in the moment. But in the end what I want to hear is never really as important as knowing that I have Someone, You, Who loves me and cares for me. That alone makes what I may be going through in the moment more bearable. Knowing that You are right here with me, blowing upon my soul the breath of life, whispering guidance to my spirit, encourages me even more to just come to You.
Today, I lift up my soul to You, laying all of my cares, concerns, worries, anxieties, desires, wants, wishes – the whole kit and caboodle – at Your feet. I give it all over to You, removing the weight of tending to them that I might just focus on You – all of my attention and all of my energy tuned into being in Your presence. There is no place I would rather be right now than in Your midst. Calm the tremors in my soul. Speak peace to the storms that rage. Help me to find in this moment what my soul truly needs and longs for. You. Amen.
