Protector

Happy holiday to those in the United States who are celebrating Independence Day today.

You, Lord God, are my protector. Rescue me and keep me safe from all who chase me. ~ Psalm 7:1 (CEV)

God will bless you when people insult you, mistreat you, and tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me. ~ Matthew 5:11 (CEV)
You, Lord God, are my protector. And I need protection -- even when I'm trying to do the right things -- even when I'm following your instructions. People misunderstand what I'm doing. They take it personally. Then I get upset. I know that I shouldn't, because I can rely on you. Thank you for being here with me. Thank you for looking out for me. I'm going to relax and not be afraid. Amen.
