A Prayer Of Thanks For God’s Upholding Hand

Just as a loving parent takes the hand of a wobbly child to love, lead, protect, and steady him so it is with You, Father, who upholds us with Your righteous right hand. After all, it is Jesus at Your right hand who is always interceding for us. No tempest storm can overtake You and no earth-shattering event perplexes You. As we walk in Your ways help us to cling tightly to Your loving, protective hand so that we don’t veer off-course or become faint-hearted. We want to exchange fear for trust, replace self-reliance with God-reliance and depend upon Your plan rather than our own. Help us to do so. Amen.
