DAY 12: From Isaiah 12

My soul finds rest in You alone; my salvation comes from You. Today and each day, I place my trust in You.

I will praise you, O LORD. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me.

Surely You are my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.

You, the LORD, are my strength and my song; You have become my salvation."

With joy I draw water from the wells of salvation.

(Pause)

Thank you, God. I call on your name. I will make known among the nations what You have done, and proclaim Your name in the streets.

I will sing to You, for You have done glorious things; let this be known to all the world.

We will shout aloud and sing for joy, for great is the Holy One of Israel among us.

You are great. You are trustworthy. You alone are God!

Our souls find rest in You alone; our salvation comes from You. Today and each day, we place our trust in You.

(End with a period of Silence. Trusting that God is present)

DAY 11: From Psalm 91

My soul finds rest in You alone; my salvation comes from You. Today and each day, I place my trust in You.

I will make You, the Most High, my dwelling; my refuge, then no harm will make me fall, no disaster will prevail.

For You will command your angels concerning me to guard me always. They will lift me up in their hands, so that I will not stumble.

Because I love You, LORD, You will rescue me; You will protect me, for You know my name.
(Pause)

I call upon You, and You will answer me; You will be with me in trouble and deliver me.

My life is in your hands. My salvation comes from you!

Our souls find rest in You alone; our salvation comes from You. Today and each day, we place our trust in You.

DAY 10: From Psalm 91

My soul finds rest in You alone; my salvation comes from You. Today and each day, I place my trust in You.

I want to dwell in the shelter of You, the Most High, and rest in the shadow of You, the Almighty.

I will say out loud, “You are my refuge and my fortress! It is You, my God, in whom I trust."
(Pause)

You will save me from myself and the evil one.

You will cover me, and under your wings I will find refuge; Your faithfulness will be my shield.

I will not fear the terror of night, nor the attacks that come by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me.

Our souls find rest in You alone; our salvation comes from You. Today and each day, we place our trust in You.

(End with a period of Silence. Trusting that God is present)

DAY 9: From Psalm 62

My soul finds rest in You alone; my salvation comes from You. Today and each day, I place my trust in You.

Keep me from selfishness. Keep me from evil. Replace the lies I have held onto with the truth of You and Your love.
Transform my heart – for you alone are able to do so – and may the good stored up in my heart overflow into the words I speak this day.

(Pause)

My salvation and my honor depend on You;
You are my mighty rock, my refuge.

I will trust in You at all times, for You are my refuge.

(Pause)

God keep me from trusting in the false gods of status, money, possessions, comfort, and position – and the other falsities I am prone to trust in. Keep me from setting my heart on these things. Help me to trust in You alone!

One thing You have spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord, are loving.
I will trust in your strength. I will trust in your love!

Our souls find rest in You alone; our salvation comes from You. Today and each day, we place our trust in You.

DAY 8: From Psalm 52

My soul finds rest in You alone; my salvation comes from You. Today and each day, I place my trust in You.

Help me not admire evil, or trust in my own might. For then I would be a disgrace in your eyes, O God.

Keep my words from plotting destruction; and keep me from the practice of deceit. Remind me of the power of my words.

Empower me to love good rather than evil. 

Empower me to speak truth rather than falsehood. 


May my words be helpful instead of harmful. May I be an encouragement and bring your Living Water to those whom I encounter this day. 


(Pause)

God, be my stronghold. I will not trust in wealth. I will not trust in my own abilities. I will not trust in my own strength or the strength of others.
Help me as I trust in You alone. 

For then, I will flourish, as
I trust in your unfailing love forever and ever.

I will praise you forever for what you have done;
in your name I will hope, for your name is good. 


I will praise you in the presence of others.

Our souls find rest in You alone; our salvation comes from You. Today and each day, we place our trust in You.
