Pray the Psalm
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
A psalm of David.
1 Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.
I don’t concern myself with matters too great
or too awesome for me to grasp.
2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,
like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.
Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, put your hope in the Lord—
now and always.
—New Living Translation
Using your favorite translation of Psalm 131 or creating your own version by following David’s pattern, pray this psalm back to God. Acknowledge with humility that God is sovereign, powerful and all-knowing—and you are not. Confess any anxieties or concerns you may be trying to shoulder on your own, rather than trusting him. Lay these concerns before him and seek to trust him. Praise God for the ways he has lovingly cared for you in the past, is caring for you now and will again in the future. Thank him that he is a God you can fully trust, no matter what you’re facing.
