Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. (22) Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

Hope, trust, believe in, commit to, faith in—all tied together. You ask me to trust You, to center all my hope in Your goodness and Your response is steadfast love. A total denial of self and a total acceptance of You. You are my help and shield, not my smartness and strength. Praise You, my Lord and Master.
