Today's Passage: Psalm 33: 20-22 

Our soul waits for the LORD;

    he is our help and our shield.

For our heart is glad in him,

    because we trust in his holy name.

Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us,

    even as we hope in you.

Today's Prayer: Lord you are our shield and our ever-present help.

Your steadfastness deepens our hope and draws us near to your side.

The brokenness of this world often leaves us feeling discouraged.

The circumstances of this life so easily weigh us down.

But, your word reminds us to take refuge in you.

It reminds us to trust you.

It reminds us walk in integrity.

It reminds us that your ways are perfect.

Your very words remind us that we will face trouble.

Yet we have an eternal hope.

We have the beautiful eternal hope of trusting in the One who has overcome the world.

As we wait eagerly for your return,

Let us not lose sight of our great help and our shield.

We love you Lord.
