I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness... On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul... The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (Psalm 138: 1-3,8)

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me," can also be understood as "That which exists in the past, now, and in the future will achieve ultimate completion." The me is implicit and derived from context.

C.S. Lewis has argued that we find ourselves only when we stop seeking and lose ourselves in God's purposes. This is a good path to completion.

It may not be the only path. At least for me, at least today, God seems keen to increase my strength of soul, until I am able to partner with that which exists to achieve completion.

I call on God for rahab - boldness and strength - of my inward being.
