GOD’S PROTECTION
Psalm 71:1-6
In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness;
turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock of refuge
to which I can always go;
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD,
my confidence since my youth.
From birth I have relied on you;
you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.
I will ever praise you.
Loving God
You have been there since the beginning of time -
rescue me from the depths of the earth
and comfort me in this time of need.
Take my hand and hold me
that I may find in you
~ A rock to stand firm on
~ A sheltering place of safety and security
~ Foundations which will not give way
and on which I can rebuild my life.
Take my hand and hold me
that I may lean on you
and trust you ~
in the childlike confidence
that you will not let me go.
Take my hand and hold me
until I can regain my equilibrium
where the shifting sands become firm once again beneath my feet.
You are my rock, my refuge, my strength
Hold me ~
with a love that is constant
with a love that is past, present and future
with a love that never ends.
Thank you, Loving God.
