Lord Jesus, steady me upon the shaking ground of life circumstances. Help me to secure myself to the anchor of Your Word in the midst of the many seasons of life. Teach me how to trust You even when I do not understand. Help me to cling to Your caring hand. Lord, shield me from the power of deception that is common in this world. Turn my face toward heaven until I gain the perspective that will bring light to the darkness that moves like a shadow over the land in which I dwell. May the breath of Your Holy Spirit blow away the storms that are birthed in my own soul because of un-tethered emotions. May every trial and tribulation You allow in my life season me with salt until I become the flavor of Christ You destined me to be. Lord, I delight in Your perfect patience because I am a work in progress. Let the shaking grounds of life sift me until I am perfected in Christ. Under the truth of Your Word in Matthew 5:48 and the authority of Christ Jesus, I gratefully pray.

You therefore must be perfect,
as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:48, ESV
