All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees. Psalm 25:10


In this prayer for deliverance, the Psalmist recognizes God's amazing love and devotion. At the same time the writer understands that being in relationship with God also involves responsibility by the the one who is praying. Taking responsibility is the hard part for me. It is too easy for me to stay wrapped up in my meetings, exercise, clutter clearing, reading, computers, music and travel. It is difficult for be me break away from my routine and sit with God, focus on what is really important in life and focus on the needs of others. Yet when I do pray to God, I am constantly in awe of God's never wavering love and faithfulness. God reminds me that reflecting love and faithfulness in all that I do is key to keeping her covenant. That grace is an incredible gift.


Dear God, our sustainer and our guide, your gifts of steadfast love and faithfulness are more than we deserve. Help us, in turn, to mirror your love, joy, peace and faithfulness in all that we do. Amen.
