Passion for Praise: 'Surrounded by Troubles'

Monday, July 31, 2006

Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me [O Lord] from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of you right hand saves me. The Lord will work out his plans for my life — for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me.
— Psalm 138:7-8 NLT
