“For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.”
O God,
I sometimes rely on my own wisdom,
my own way of doing things,
my own desires, my own wants,
and it gets me no where.
I am lost without your wisdom,
for all wisdom is foolishness,
save for yours.
I sometimes try to rely on my own strength,
and put the weight of my worry,
and the weight of other’s worry,
onto my self. I crumble under the pressure.
But I can trust in you, for you are strong,
you made the heavens,
you made the earth,
you made me.
Why should I not put my hope and trust in you?
Thank you God for your wisdom and your strength. In your strength alone may I find the power and wisdom to seek redemption in my life and freedom from the foolishness of the world.
Amen
