Psalms 37: Commit Everything to the Lord

I need this today. I'm feeling drained and weary. I didn't sleep well, which doesn't help matters.

Psalms 37:5 says,
5. Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
6. He will make your innocence as clear as the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

God is good. My plate is full, but I need to commit everything I do to the Lord. I need to trust him, and he will help me through my life situations. Here is another promise: Once again, I must act by trusting him, THEN he will help me. See, we feel the need to hold on and try to tackle our problems on our own. But the promise here is that God will help us after we commit them to him. It's so simple, yet we miss it.

7. Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.
Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

As I write this, I listen to a song call In Your Presence by Jason Upton. I highly recommend downloading this song. Anyhow, it's so calming.

Be still in the presence of the Lord. Is this hard to do in our crazy society. I am often going so fast, I don't know which way is up. I spend time praying to God, but how often am I still in his presence? How often do I just sit and listen to the still small voice of my God? And to wait patiently for his words. I am wanting to pursue a facilitator job, but have not been able to get anything, even after interviewing many times. I seem to interview in the top ranks, but never am the top candidate. In this case, second place doesn't mean anything. I think sometimes when we don't wait, we move on in our lives and miss what God has for us. There is the part about evil people again. See, there it is. We are not patient so we move on, frustrated, and our eyes go off of God onto the evil people who seem to prosper and we miss out on what God has for us.

God, help me to wait patiently in your presence. Help me to hear your voice in my life. Forgive me for being so busy. I commit everything I do to you. I trust you, Father, and I ask for your help today and everyday this week. Amen
