Monday Morning Prayer

May 28, 2007

1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” (Psalm 16:1-2)

May these words be a true expression of our heart’s satisfaction in You, O God.  ‘I have no good apart from You.’  Help us to truly embrace this, and to receive all our joys in this world as revealing more of You, the true giver of joy.  As David would write at the end of this Psalm, in Your presence is fullness of joy, and at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.  Help us this day to really feel in the heart, and not merely acknowledge with our lips, that in all the joys of this life, You are our deepest joy.  Grant that we hold everything in this world loosely, knowing that all of it can be taken away from us, yet nothing can separate us from Your love in Christ.  May Christ be the supreme treasure of our hearts, today and every day.
