The Lord is my refuge

 

Psalm 11

¹ In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain.
² For look, the wicked bend their bows;
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
at the upright in heart.
³ When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”

 A prayer for protection…

Lord, be my refuge.  Be my strength.   All around me I see the dangers.  There are those who say I should just run.  There are enemies who shoot lies at me from the shadows.   My heart has at times been wounded from their shots.  But Lord I trust in you to be my shield.  In the face of a crumbling world around me I will rest upon your truth.   Your foundations alone are sure.   You alone are my resting place.   If I run may I simply run to you.   In the name of the one who is righteous Jesus Christ my Lord.  I pray.  Amen.
