Lord, I come before you today, reflecting on your promise in Jeremiah 17:7: ‘But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.’

In this season of Ordinary Time, where we are called to grow and live out your teachings, I am reminded of how easily my confidence can waver. So often, I find myself looking to my own strength, my own plans, or the stability of worldly things. These are like shifting sands, Lord, and they offer no true foundation.

Help me to actively choose trust. Help me to root my confidence in you, not in the circumstances around me, for they are ever-changing. Lord, help me to see you as my constant, my rock, my sure hope. May my reliance on you be not just a thought, but a deep, felt reality that guides my decisions and calms my fears.

Give me the grace to rest in your faithfulness, even when the path ahead is uncertain. Teach me to find my security in your unchanging love, rather than in the fleeting promises of this world. Lord, help me to be a person whose confidence is truly in you, so that I may experience the blessedness you promise. Amen.

Lord, help me to trust you more each day.
