Day 6: September 20, 2013
Though harsh and difficult to swallow, the Psalmist tells us we cannot depend exclusively on self-reliance. Instead, we’re called to depend on the Lord who hears and supports us.
So together, we give thanks for God’s willingness to side with those living against the odds in the midst of our non-peaceful world. Whatever that “non-peace” is called, or from where it comes, we trust that evil, iniquity, violence, and sin will not thwart God’s work in the world.
Just as Zion was a dwelling place for the Divine, we trust that we too are a dwelling place for your Spirit, O God. Protect us, and our children, as we depend on you. For we know that our trust is in you and that, “the needy will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the poor perish.” Amen.
