Don't worry. This instructional psalm is addressed to those suffering anxiety. God governs in ways that invite trust.

Trust in the Lord, and do good;

dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.

Delight yourself in the Lord,

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:3-4 ESV

The Lord will surely give one their heart's desire. I shall seek happiness in the Lord. I trust in Him. I will be patient and wait for the Lord to act.

I will not be worried about those who prosper or succeed in their evil ways. Worry or anger only lead to trouble. I know the Lord guides in the way one should go and protects those who please Him. I will seek my happiness in the Lord.

The Lord loves what is right and does not abandon the faithful. I will hope in the Lord and obey His commands.

Lord pressures abound. Help me to trust in You and not take hasty action. Move in my life so that faith in You will help me act in love. Thank You for the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
