3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (Psalm 3:3 ESV)
Let us pray.
Lord of all strength, we trust You to care for us.
In Your ever watchful gaze we are seen and not ignored.
In Your heart of we are valued and blessed.
Even in our sinful lives You call us to Yourself
so that we might experience forgiveness, redemption, and grace.
You strengthen our hearts to live for truth and not to chase after lies.
You strengthen our minds so we are not confused in times of trial.
You strengthen our bodies to live for more than ourselves.
You strengthen our souls to be true to You in the face of doubts, fears, and opposition.
Lord grant us eyes to see beyond our current circumstances and to witness
Your glorious hand at work in our lives and the lives of the people around us.
Lord grant us encouragement so that we would not be overcome with the problems we live with.
Lord bless us with humility so that we are not led astray by joy and excitement.
Lord keep us rooted in the waters of Your salvation so that our lives would flourish for You.
We pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
