I look at the trees; their roots sink deep by the stream. In the same way, let my roots sink deep into you. Let me feed on your word. As we commune in prayer, let me drink from the living water of your Spirit. Let me jump in and be bathed by your cleansing power. I will rely on you rather than things that are shallow and temporary. I can’t depend on my own abilities and strength, but I’m confident in your care and direction. I will take special notice of the good things when they come. I will fix my mind on what is pure and lovely and upright. When the heat and winds of life’s storms come, I will not fear; I know you are near. I will not worry but keep on producing a life that is a blessing for you and others.
