My Psalm 173
Heavenly Father, Precious Savior,
Counselor, Holy Spirit, Triune God,
Thank you Lord for Your constancy.
In a world moving too fast,
In which our thoughts are scattered
And our lives lose focus,
You remain steadfastly Alpha and Omega,
Beginning and end, Sovereign and in control.
While we live out our mortality
You are infinite.
While we make our plans,
You direct our steps.
While we love imperfectly,
You define the term.
Forgive us for thinking in the instant,
The latest, the momentary,
When You control all destiny
In timeless boundaries and broad strokes.
Once more we are reminded of life’s brevity
But know You are beyond all time and place
Because You created us to know eternity.
Strengthen us where we falter;
Teach us where we fail to see life’s lessons;
Fill us with wisdom for such a time as this.
We thank You for each day in which we can praise You
For Your glory, Your provision, Your love, Your balance
You bring to us, Your children.
Help us to focus on You, the Author and Finisher,
Our Lord, Master, Creator, and ultimate Destiny.
In Jesus’ Name for showing us Your mercy and grace. Amen.
