In anguish, I cried to the Lord;
he answered by setting me free.
With the Lord beside me, I need not fear.
What can humans do to me?
The Lord is with me, ready to help;
I can look in triumph upon my enemies.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in the help of humans.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in the might of princes.
I was pushed hard and about to fall,
but the Lord came to my help.
The Lord is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
Always remember that it is I who am with you, I fight your battles, I feed you with all that is good, I fill your soul with peace, joy, and rest. Why are you afraid of what the people of the world can do to you? They are no match for the One who has called you by name and to whom you are grafted. It is My Life that flows into you and nourishes you. It is I who gives you life in abundance. Look to Me as your provider. Make all your desires known to Me. Come to Me with all your troubles, difficulties, and your needs, not just for yourself but for those you love and for the world. I delight in answering those who come to Me with the confidence of a child certain that I will withhold nothing good, necessary, and needful so you may not just live but thrive. I AM God, is anything too difficult for Me? Do not worry, what people do to you, they cannot harm a hair on your head. I will watch over you as a shepherd watches over his flock. Be still and trust in Me. Still your soul, quiet your heart. All is well, I AM God, and I AM with you now and forever.
Amen 🙏
