Support
You’ve given me the shield of your salvation;
your strong hand has supported me;
your help has made me great. ~ Psalm 18:35 (CEB)
Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and his powerful strength. ~ Ephesians 6:10 (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
The Lord supports his people.
PRAYER:
Lord God, so much is topsy-turvy but you are the source of stability in my life. I don't lean on you enough because I am easily distracted and so I trip up over and over again. Hold me up even when I am clueless. I want my life to become a testimony to your faithful support. Amen.
