Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I
don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to
grasp. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no
longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within
me.
—Psalm 131:1-2, NLT
Peace is where I find you, Lord. It is that place where I have
a heart at rest—one that doesn’t seek recognition or approval. In you, Lord, I don’t
have a front to maintain or a point to prove. I can be honest with myself and
with others when I don’t have all the answers. Only you have. I can’t fix
anything. Only you can. Like a weaned child, who has matured to the place where
it no longer needs its mother’s milk, I allow you to be in control. I trust you
to handle and take care of each problem. You sometimes direct me into places of
hardship to take care of what you deem necessary, but it is through those times
that I learn to lean more on the truth of your Word and less on the milk of
what I feel. Your altar is always with me—a place of surrender that quietens my
soul. And in my surrender, you carry me through or above any pain to victory. I
make my life your choice, Lord, and whatever comes, I place my hope in you.
