A Prayer Request.

I have been watching the news since 7.30 a.m ... been switching between CNN and CBC, plus checking various news websites. After a few hours I needed to leave the house to get my mind off of the disturbing news and to get some work done.

When I came home, I tried to do some paperwork but I had the tv news blaring in the background. This did not ease my anxious feeling. I finally took a hold of myself ... and told myself to pray. I then reached for my bible and searched for the passage that I find comfort in:

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling
even the LORD, who is my refuge

10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

I feel comfort in this bible passage and in the knowledge that our Lord God is with us. My heart has been lifted and my worries have been placed at the feet of the cross. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice and your love for us.

Please pray with me today and always for our Lord God's refuge that no harm shall fall on His children.
