A PRAYER OF PROTECTION AND PRAISE
Armies
may surround me, but I won’t be afraid. War may break out, but I will trust
you. I ask only one thing LORD, let me live in your house every day of my life
to see how wonderful you are and to pray in your temple.
In
times of trouble, you will protect me. You will hide me in your tent and keep
me safe on top of a Mighty Rock. You will let me defeat all of my enemies and
then I will celebrate, as I enter into your temple with songs of sacrifices and
praises.
Please
listen when I pray! Have pity. Answer my prayer. My heart tells me to pray. I
am eager to see your face, so don’t hide from me. I am your servant and you
have helped me. Don’t turn from me in anger. You alone keep me safe. Don’t
reject or desert me.
Even
if my father or mother deserts me, you will take care of me. Teach me to follow
LORD, and lead me on the right path because of my enemies. Don’t let them to do
to me what they want. People tell lies about me and make terrible treats, but I
know I will live to see how kind you are. I am brave and strong because I trust
you LORD.
