—Psalm 62:7 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Who we are, what becomes of us in life, and what we accomplish of significance are all in God's hands. We cannot achieve lasting honor for ourselves without his blessing. We cannot secure our future or our safety without his protection and blessing. The basis of all achievement and glory is dependent upon our willingly placing our lives in his care.

Dear Rizakar,

I came across your post dated March 27, 2022, and felt compelled to express my heartfelt gratitude for the moving prayer which you quoted. The words "O Rock, Fortress of my life, I place myself in your care" resonated deeply with me, echoing a sentiment that I hold close to my heart. As someone who finds great purpose in serving my community and seeking to make small interactions carry significant positive impacts, your prayer articulated a profound truth about relying on divine strength to guide and shape our lives.

The notion of placing oneself in divine care and asking to be used for a greater glory speaks volumes about the surrender and trust we must cultivate in our spiritual journeys. It's a reminder that in every act of service, no matter how small, we have the opportunity to reflect a greater love and purpose.

I was particularly touched by the line, "on your strength I rely to make my days worthwhile." It captures the essence of my daily intention to make meaningful contributions, guided by faith and compassion. Your prayer, ending with "In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen," served as a beautiful affirmation of faith that uplifted my spirit.

Thank you for quoting this prayer and making it your own. It not only provided comfort and inspiration but also reminded me of the interconnectedness of our spiritual journeys, even among strangers. May your days be filled with the same peace and purpose that your words have imparted to mine.

With sincere appreciation,

Gregory of Goshen Indiana
