Trusting God – Lectio Divina

May 22, 2011 By Jean Wise

Lord a long time ago you gave me a breath prayer:
In you, O Lord, I will put my trust.

So often when nothing else works,
When my trying and striving fail,
When circumstances overwhelm me,
When people let me down
Or worse I disappointment myself:
I whisper, “In you, O Lord, I will put my trust.”

Help me know the only action I need to take is to let go and put all my troubles into Your hands.
Soothe me with your loving lullaby:
In you, O Lord, I will put my trust.

In you, O Lord, I will put my trust.

In you, O Lord, I will put my trust.

    What a great breath prayer – sometimes it is hard to even remember to breathe.

    Waiting…trusting… so hard for us incomplete humans. I find slowly repeating this breath prayer, especially when i can’t pray anything else makes a difference and I can let go and trust God more.

    Jean,

    “When people let me down or worse when I disappoint myself. . .”

    Yes, often it’s hard for me to truly trust. I need to remember that God has a plan for me, and it’s not my plan, and I’m not to judge the speed of which He carries it out. I’m just to trust.

    I really like the idea of a breath prayer…I remember reading about that idea here before. And that is the perfect verse indeed to keep you rooted in Him. Wonderful, Jean!
