“In peace I lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8).
When we entrust our lives to the Lord’s care, we find true rest. The soul that trusts in His mercies does not get lost in anxiety or impatience, but learns to rest knowing it is exactly where God has placed it. It is in this surrender to the Father that we discover a peace the world cannot offer—the assurance that we are in the arms of the Almighty.
This trust flourishes when we choose to live according to the magnificent commandments of the Most High. They remind us that we do not walk by chance, but are guided by a wise and loving hand. To obey is to trust that every step of our journey has been ordained by God and that, wherever we are, we are safe under His protection.
Therefore, let go of your fears and embrace faithfulness. The Father guides and sustains those who surrender to His holy will. Whoever lives in obedience rests in safety and is led to the Son to inherit eternal life. Adapted from F. Fénelon. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Beloved Lord, I place myself in Your arms, giving You my worries and uncertainties. I know that only You can give the rest my soul needs.
Father, teach me to trust in every detail of life, obeying Your magnificent commandments and accepting the place where You have put me. May I rest in peace in the assurance of Your presence.
Oh, dear God, I thank You because You make me dwell in safety. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is like a bed of peace for my soul. Your commandments are strong arms that sustain me on the way. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
