“All who served carved images, those who boast in idols, will be put to shame. All the gods must worship him.” Psalm 97:7
O God in Heaven, You are the King above all kings and the only true God, above all gods. You are the God of glory, might, power and dominion. All things in heaven and on earth bow before your throne. At least we should; yes, Lord God, this includes me. I find myself trusting in other people and other things to protect and provide for me. I find myself looking to other people and other things to give me meaning and purposes in life. I find myself seeking joy and happiness in other places besides you. But these people and these things will only let me down. These people and things are nothing but idols and they can’t help but let me down because they aren’t you! Forgive me, Father! Forgive me for seeking good elsewhere. Forgive me for finding joy in other people. Forgive me for seeking safety in the arms of another. Forgive me and help me to make you my one and only. Teach me to fear, to love and trust you above all things. There is none like you. All other gods will disappoint me, but you never will. Amen.
