Psalm 105

Lord, change my heart!

I want to be closer to you,
go deeper with you,
pray further with you.
I want you to be made manifest
in my actions and words,
in my mouth and my hands.
I want impatience to flee,
anger to cool,
and fear to become trust.
I want to be covered with you,
not only knowing,
but living the death of sin.
I want your Spirit to fill me,
night and day,
sunrise to sunset.

Lord, rule my heart!

Psalm 104

Lord, banish fear from me!
I cry out to you, O God,
because fear so often rules in me.
I fear the future and sometimes your will.
I don't understand this life
and I feel lost in it.

Lord, I want to trust you.
Give me a heart of trust,
a heart that is satisfied in your will.
Make me certain in doubt
never overwhelmed by a confusing life.
Lord, may trust rule me!

Psalm 98

Banish fear, O my God,
Let my trust rest in you.

As I look to the future
I cannot see the whole path.
I trace but a short thread
as I live in the present.
I cannot tell what lies ahead;
only you, my God, are wise enough to see.

Lord, bolster my trust;
Remind me of your faithfulness.
You are my shield, my defender,
my protector and father.
To you I turn,
to you I pray.

Trust in God, O my soul,
and do not fear.

Psalm 64

Lord, help me overcome my fear!
Lord, I know you are with me.
I want to trust you wholly.
But my mind draws pictures of fear.
Calm my mind.
Give me implicit trust.
Let me obey and love you,
despite my fearful heart.
