everything

Opening Prayer: “My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty.  I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.  But I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.  O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 131:1-3, NIV)

Scripture: Psalm 131:1-3

Journal: What does this ancient and wonderful prayer stir up in your heart today?  How can you move from trying to be something, to becoming nothing, so that God can be everything?

Reflection:

prayer involves

the movement from
trying to be something
to realizing we are nothing
so that God can be everything

Pray

Closing Prayer: “O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and marvelous for me.  But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.  O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.” (Psalm 131:1-3, ESV)
