Protector
The Fifth Day of Christmas
And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken! ~ Jeremiah 1:8 (NLT)
The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them. ~ Luke 19:10 (NCV)
KEY IDEA:
The Lord looks out for his people.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for looking out for me. I feel loved. I know that it doesn't make any sense but even with you on duty I'm still paralyzed by fear at times. Help me to trust you. I'm going to live confidently. Amen.
