Praying with Psalm 138

“Yahweh will perfect that which concerns me. Yahweh, Your mercy endures forever, the works of Your hands do not forsake.”

-Psalm 138:8

One day my lips may repeat, “it is finished,” so let not my spirit surrender to a spirit of defeat. By Your Holy Spirit strengthen me to step into Your perfecting work that I may truly say “not by sight, not by my reasoning, nor by power, but God alone has done this!” Have a little more mercy on me Lord - for I am still only less than human - longing to be perfected into the image of the only fully human face of all, Jesus the Christ, God the Son. Amen.
