Protection We Can Trust

We all feel pretty vulnerable and needy at various times.   God offers Himself to us as protection - as a safe and sure place of rest and security.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 

Psalm 91:1-2

So Lord that’s what we want to do today.  We come to You because we know that there is no other safe place to be than to be close to You, close enough to be in Your shadow, as the verse tells us.

We thank You for being strong when we are weak.  We thank you for being a place of refuge when all around us seems crazy and out of control.  We thank You for always being dependable and true to Your word.  We can trust You. 

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 

Psalm 91:9-10

When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.  Psalm 142:3

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.  Psalm 32:7

We don’t necessarily have all the answers we’d like but we know that when we lean on You and remember that You are surrounding us with love and protection, we’ll be alright.  You are all we need. 

You will give us exactly what will help us have a good day today that is meaningful, purposeful, and joyful – a day of blessing others and being blessed and satisfied ourselves.  Thank you.  Amen
