Where can we go when it seems as if all our walls have fallen, all the protection has vanished, and our hearts feel as if all hope is lost? We can go to the eternal God, who is our Abba Father (
Romans 8:15-17). He preserved ancient Israel miraculously through their most difficult of times in their history, protected the Scriptures from hoards of those who tried to eradicate them, and has led his Church victoriously through all of her troubles, trials, and triumphs through the centuries. He will do the same with us until he brings us home to himself. For
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."
My Rock, My Hope and My Protector, I thank you for preserving my life. I thank you for hearing my cries for help and healing. I thank you for guiding my feet into ways that have been a blessing. Please, O God, stay close by as I face the stresses and challenges in my life. Through your Spirit, enable me to grow and be an example to others as I pass through life's storms. In the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord, I ask for your presence and blessing. Amen.
