We do not live our
lives in a corner;
nothing escapes your
notice, God.
Ultimately, our trust
must be in you,
not in other mortals,
for when we die,
our plans perish, and
we are of no help.
Grant us
determination to wait for Jesus,
holding fast to love
and justice as we wait.

Ps. 123:3-4
Do not put your trust in princes,
in mortals, in whom there is no help.

on that very day their plans perish.
