Psalm 37: 23-24
If the Lord delights in a man's way, He makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
This is a promise. God always keeps His promises. But this promise has a premise: the way we live our daily life must be in accordance with His ways, then He can delight in our way. Then He will make our steps firm. Then when we stumble, He will uphold us with His hand. When God takes your hand, He won't let go.
O my Father, teach me Your ways, so that when I stumble, You will hold me up with Your hand in mine. Teach me to lean on You, not my own understanding; keep me in Your realm, to see You in all You have made, and the people You have put into my path.
Show me Your face, I want to see You; I want to hear Your voice; I want to touch You; to embrace You, to dance with You!
Draw me to Yourself, Father, so that others who see me would not see me, but would see You in me, to draw them to Yourself. And, Father, please grant repentance to the unrepentant, and mercy and grace to the sinner.
And Your will will be done and Your Kingdom will come on Earth as it is in Heaven, when Your people walk in Your ways, and fully when Your Son arrives to establish His Throne to govern this World.
And Your Kingdom will last forever, and never ceast to increase throughout all eternity!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
