He knows best

Psalm 51 : 11-18
Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me

I was reminded of this one particular song - Create in Me a Clean Heart- when i read the verses above. Part of the song goes:
"Cast me not away from Thy presence oh God,
take not Thy Holy Spirit from me,
restore unto me, the joy of Thy salvation
and renew a right spirit within me"

A gentle reminder to myself to humble myself before the Lord and surrender all to Him. Trusting that He will take care of everything... and He knows what's best.

Here's beautiful prayer that i came across when doing my QT today:
O Lord, let me not henceforth desire health or life,
Except to spend them for Thee, with Thee and in Thee.
Thou alone knows what is good for me;
Do, therefore, what seems Thee best.
Give to me or take from me;
Conform my will to Thine;
And grant that, with humble and perfect submission, and in holy confidence,
I may receive the orders of Thine eternal Providence,
And may equally adore all that comes to me from Thee.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

~Blaise Pascal~
