These all look to you, to give them their food in due season. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.
I cannot live, nothing can live without Your favor. Whether I live to see the sun rise tomorrow is completely dependent upon Your will for me. I must recognize that I am completely subservient to Your holy, just and perfect will. I am not the master of my fate, but am a redeemed child of God. Hallelujah.
