Beth Moore, Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent
"The essence of wholeness is God's winning us wholly with His affection, His truth, and His healing Word. Truly, God is our soul-ologist...." Peterson: "'Christian faith is not neurotic dependency but childlike trust" (135).
"We don't cure arrogance by becoming victims'" i.e., a misguided attempt to be humble (136).
A child "surrenders every care in the world: (138).
My Psalm 131
Father, re-create in me a heart that is not haughty and eyes that are not proud, a spirit that is not arrogant, but no neurotic or a "victim." Help me to trust You even when questions go unanswered. Teach me to cease fretting--to be calm in Your lap. I desire to hope in You (138).
"Arise and come," LORD (141).
It's "worth everything I have to do to adjust and alter my life to draw close to You" (143).
