Psalm 114

You are the God of Hope.

We come to you in prayer,

We come with our requests.

We know our strength is limited,

but your power endless.

Hear our cry, O God,

Listen to the pleas from our mouths.

We wait.

We wait with patience.

And as we wait,

we ask that our souls conform to your will.

Psalm 17

Time seems an enemy to me, O Lord.
My schedule fills, my life is busy.
I complain of never enough time in a day.

Lord, is this dilemma truly displaced priority?
Show me, O God, where my time should lie.
Keep me from falling into this trap.
I desire to serve you and to use the gifts given to me.
Direct my efforts to what you have planned.
Change time from my enemy to my friend,
time as an agent of your purposes.
May my time bring glory to your name!
