My promise keeping God and King, let Your servant be reminded today. My forgetfulness perplexes my faith. Lord, I can hardly understand my heart’s propensity to unbelief. For You have seen me through many a storm. You have rescued me from multiple pit falls. And yet this next calamity leaves my soul breathless with doubt. Here I stand in the magnificent glow of Your faithfulness and I grow cold looking at the shadows that frighten me. Let me take heart, Jesus. You never fail! The well of salvation does not run dry. Your love is not fleeting as smoke from fire; nor is it a sun that sets never to rise again. I know You, my Lord, because You opened my heart to see. So why am I prone to these vexing anxieties? Why is my soul provoked to suspicion? Why is my heart stirred up with fear? You are not a mirage, a cloud that has no substance. You are my Savior. You have brought me through before. And You delight to use every calamity to increase faith. Let me cling to Your promise, Lord God. I will find rest in the storm because You will never leave me or forsake me. Your rod and Your staff comfort me. Under the beautiful assurance in the Word found in Psalm 27:3-4 and the authority of Christ I bow in prayer.

Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
    yet I will be confident.
One thing have I asked of the Lord,
    that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
    and to inquire in His temple.
Psalm 27:3-4, ESV
