2 SAMUEL 22:3 (CEV)
My God is my rock—I take refuge in him!—
he’s my shield and my salvation’s strength,
my place of safety and my shelter.
My savior! Save me from violence!
ROMANS 8:38-39 (MSG)
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We're unfazed by our circumstances because we know that God is our loving protector.
PRAYER
God, there is so much in the world that is trying to drag me down. Yet, you are my protector. Thank you for your unfailing love. Forgive me for allowing my circumstances to overwhelm me -- for allowing myself to wallow in self-pity, anxious about what's ahead. Save me from me, because I'm often my own worst enemy. I'm going to step forward confident of your love and protection. Amen.
