Trust in the LORD and do good
that you may dwell in the land and live secure.
Find your delight in the LORD
who will give you your heart’s desire.
Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will act
And make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
your justice like noonday. (Psalm 37:3-6 NABRE)

In this song of David, we hear him call us repeatedly to trust in the Lord. He urges us to find our delight in the Lord. And he encourages us to commit our ways to the Lord.

When we trust in him, we gain all we need. When we delight in him, we find satisfaction. When we commit our actions to him, we get his aid.


Today, I will trust in the Lord, find delight in him, and commit my actions to him.


Blessed John Francis Burté and Companions, victims of the French Revolution, whose martyrdom reminds us of the importance of religious freedom, pray for us.

There are just 12 days remaining in this shared prayer journey of ours. Please continue to join your prayers with mine here, for a daily minute of reflection. As Jesus said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20) Though we gather together online, may our joining here reflect our deep desire to have Jesus in our midst.
