The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you (Deuteronomy 33:27; NLT).
But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content (Psalm 131:2; NIV).
Lord,
I’m feeling ill.
If I can’t serve you today,
Please help me to pray for others.
And if I can’t pray for others,
Please help me to seek you in contemplation.
And if I can’t seek you in contemplation,
Please help me to rest quietly in your arms,
Like a little child.
Through Jesus’ name,
Amen.
