Click this link to hear an audio version of the below text narrated by SOTH member Jerry Rhinehart:

 

Psalm 37:7-9 (NIV)
7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. 9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

 

Patiently wait on the Lord and win in the face of unrighteous resistance.

 

Lord keep me from focusing on the evil that is running rampant around me. There is so much that makes me afraid and even panic. Keep me from fear, envy, and anger as I trust in you.  Faith is trust, the opposite of fear and panic. Help me to set aside time with You as my source of peace and hope. Today I want to commit my way to you. I will be still before you God and trust in You. Amen
