WHEN TROUBLE COMES

2 SAMUEL 22:2 (ABP)
GOD is the solid rock on which I build. He is the fortress around me and the one who rescues me when trouble comes.

JOHN 16:33 (ABP)
Jesus: You'll have no shortage of trouble in this world. But don't let that thought drag you down. Be encouraged! I'm the one who has defeated the forces of this world.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God rescues his people in the face of attack.

PRAYER
Protector Lord, thank you for being the firm foundation upon which I can stand. Forgive me when my foolish rebellion leads me away. I sink in the quicksand of the world and troubles overwhelm me. Your mighty power frees me from the grasp of the world. Help me live a victorious life of service grounded in your strength. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
