Teach me your faithfulness
Dear Lord,
I praise you for your faithfulness to me.
You are faithful when I falter.
You are faithful when I doubt.
You are faithful when I fail.
You are faithful when I question.
You are faithful when I run from you.
You are always faithful, true, and holy.
Your love is everlasting.
Lord, teach me your faithfulness.
I want to trust you in difficult circumstances,
in grief,
fear,
and uncertainty.
I want to be as faithful to your name
as you are to me.
Always.
Whether I understand what you’re doing or not.
I ask this in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. (Psalm 36:5)
For I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness. (Psalm 23:6)
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly. (Psalm 40:10)
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. (Psalm 57:10)
Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. (Psalm 86:11)
