🛡️ Theme: Trust
📖 Scripture:
“Remind me each morning of your constant love, for I put my trust in you. My prayers go up to you; show me the way I should go.” — Psalm 143:8 (GNTD)
📜 Background:
Psalm 143 is a heartfelt cry from David during a time of distress. He’s weary, surrounded by enemies, and searching for direction. Yet in the midst of it all, he turns to God—not just for rescue, but for guidance. This verse captures the essence of trust: a daily dependence on God’s love and leading.
💡 Devotional:
There’s something sacred about the quiet of morning—before the noise, before the lists, before the decisions. I remember sitting on my porch one foggy morning in Dahlonega, coffee in hand, heart heavy with uncertainty. This verse came to mind like a whisper: “Show me the way I should go.”
Trust isn’t passive—it’s a posture of seeking. David doesn’t just ask for help; he asks for direction. And he roots that request in God’s love. Each morning is a fresh invitation to lean in, to listen, to trust that God’s way is better—even when it’s unclear.
If you’re standing at a crossroads or just trying to make it through the day, let this be your prayer: “Lord, I trust You. Show me the way.”
🪞 Reflection Questions:
- What decisions or uncertainties are you facing today?
- How do you invite God into your mornings?
- What does trusting His direction look like in your current season?
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your constant love that greets me each morning.
I place my trust in You—not just for comfort, but for direction.
Show me the way I should go.
Help me to walk with confidence, knowing You lead with love.
Amen.
🛠️ Application:
Set aside five minutes tomorrow morning to read Psalm 143:8 aloud.
Write down one area where you need God’s guidance.
Then, commit to trusting His lead—even if it’s just one step at a time.
📌 Takeaway:
Trust begins with surrender.
Each morning is a chance to ask, listen, and follow.
God’s love leads—always.
