Day 227: Psalm 141:8

"But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death." ~Psalm 141:8, NIV

God, when life is giving me a mess that I can't deal with, help me to remember that it's not about me, it's about You. When I feel alone and like nobody cares or worse, that everyone is laughing at me, remind me that my eyes are fixed on You, and that my life is merely a reflection of who You are.

You are what this is all about, so won't You be my refuge when life is trying to suck the lifeblood out of me? Won't You save me from the throes of social and emotional death? Surely Your love is here, and surely I won't die.

When I forget what life's about, remind me that it's You, not me, that makes life worth living. Teach me how to follow and know you better. Teach me to love You, and to love others so that they may find Your love.

I will keep my focus on You so that everything else fades. I will become less, may You become greater. Amen.
