This was sent to me by sister Grace Garrett. Awesome Word.. September 20 “As A Weaned Child” “LORD, my heart is not haughty nor my eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself as a child that is weaned of his mother; my soul is even as a weaned child.” Psalm 131:1-2 “Where do I begin, O LORD? “When I read the words You’ve set before me this morning. . .words of my heart not being haughty or my eyes lofty. . .or not engaging in great matters or things too difficult for me. . .my heart is convicted, for I know that too often I have been guilty of such things. “Yes, You already know that too often my heart has been haughty, puffed up with pride, feeling good about what I’ve done or said, while forgetting that I am nothing without You. Likewise, too often my eyes have been lofty—lusting after men’s applause and approval. And, You also know that too often I’ve prided myself in my prowess and ability to do this or that only to discover that they were too great for my ability, which resulted in feelings of guilt, shame, rejection or inferiority. “Forgive me, O LORD, for trying to do things MY way and neglecting to seek Your Face first. How incredibly stubborn and stupid I can be at times. But, You know my heart, O LORD of all, and how I deeply long to walk with You, resting in Your sufficient Grace. “Help me, O LORD, to behave myself as that child that is weaned of its mother. I’ve watched those babies and how content they are after nursing, lying there asleep on their mother’s breast. They have not a care in the world, but rest so quietly in their mother’s arms. That’s really how I want to be, dear Father. I want to rest serenely and securely in Your loving Arms, knowing You have everything under control and love me more than I could ever know. “Dear LORD, right now in the quietness of this moment I ask you to calm my heart and mind. Cleanse me of any known sins and reveal any others that keep me from full surrender to You. Help me to fully release all my cares to You and trust You to guide my every step today. Free me from my doubts and fears and help me to rest in You. “Thank You, Father, for hearing my prayer this morning. Thank You for loving me and accepting me just as I am. Lead me today and use me however You see fit. Help me to trust You and to live the type of life that glorifies you. I love You. Amen.”
