Heavenly Father,

In the quiet of our hearts, we seek Your wisdom and trust in Your timing. Help us to trust in You and do good, to dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Let us delight in You, Lord, and You will give us the desires of our hearts.

Commit our way to You; trust in You, and You will do this: You will make our righteous reward shine like the dawn, our vindication like the noonday sun. Help us to be still before You and wait patiently for You; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. The salvation of the righteous comes from You; You are their stronghold in times of trouble. Help us to trust in You, Lord, and follow Your paths, for in Your presence, we find peace and true joy.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.
