The Trinity Has No 4th Member

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Rev. 22:13

When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. Ps. 94:19

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isa. 26:3

Heavenly Father, it’s time for us to shift our focus from the immediacy of our disappointments to the permanency of who you are. It’s one thing to be lovingly concerned about stuff, and another to anxiously obsess. You call us to pray without ceasing, not vex without sleeping.

So with palms up, we release our burdens to you. We want to care less, and trust you more. You are God, and we are very much not so. You’ve begun a good work in each of your children and in every sphere of your creation; and you’re neither AWOL, disinterested, bored, or negligent. You will complete your story to your glory, in your time, on your dime.

You are the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, and everything in between. Hallelujah, many times over. As our God, you are Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—perfect Trinity. And you’re not looking to turn a Trio into a Quartet. We matter, but only you are the point.

You don’t need us, yet you love us. When the cares of our hearts are many, your consolations are many more. When we fix our thoughts on you—as opposed to fixating on messy situations and people—your peace centers, settles, and frees us.

So as this Tuesday begins and continues, we choose liberation over consternation; and resting in you, over rusting on the hinges of our fruitless worry. We choose to believe the gospel rather than trying to be our savior, or anybody else’s. So very Amen we pray with relief, in Jesus’ wonderful and merciful name.
