Lord, You are my center…. (devo reflection)

Psalm 5:3 In the morning, LORD, You hear my voice; in the morning, I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly.
Lord, You are my center, my shelter, my fortress. When the storms of life assail me, You protect me like the beloved child I know I am. When I am unsure of which way to turn, You guide me. When I am afraid, You gently whisper Your promises. When I mess up and feel utterly worthless, You remind me who I am and Whose I am. I am deeply loved, and I am Yours, Lord. Give me strength and courage.
Psalm 59:16 But I will sing of Your strength, in the morning, I will sing of Your love; for You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
Lord, I try to do what’s right. I try to be a good wife, mother, friend, teacher, sister. Help me when I feel I’ve given my all and it doesn’t seem to be enough. Help me when I want so dearly to help and encourage those I love and everything I do seems to have the opposite effect. Give me strength, wisdom, discernment, compassion, joy.
Acts 9:6 …”Lord, What wilt thou have me to do?”….
Lord, Thank You for this day and for understanding where I am even when I flounder trying to put it into words. Thank You for being my anchor through good times and bad. Thank You for recognizing my efforts and for encouraging me to stay the course, even when it seems to take every ounce of strength. Draw me closer to You. Restore my soul. Amen.
Psalm 5:11 But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in You.
Have a blessed day.

  1. I find myself flopping around quite often but find comfort in knowing God has a sense of humor and He has me in his hands.

  2. Amen, my friend! I’m right there with you. Thankfully, He is greater than the sum of our fears and failings, our mistakes and missteps. The fact that He has a sense of humor, I think, is a bonus. Laughter is vital! ❤
