Life
For in him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28, NIV).
All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust (Psalm 104:27-9; NIV).
Then he [Job] fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised” (Job 1:20-21; NIV).
Lord,
My life is entirely
In your hands.
Please show me your will,
And help me
To follow it.
That’s all I ask.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
