I utterly adore You, Jesus, my King. I am fervently devoted to Your sovereign will, O Lord. In Your presence, I am strengthened. By Your grace, I am sustained. Let my life be lived in gratitude because You sought to rescue me. Upon the foundation of faith, let my life be built. Behind the fortress of goodness in God, let me take refuge against the trials of life. Jesus, shield me from the tornado of emotions that often distracts me from Your purpose. Hide me within the stronghold of Your divine love so that the enemy cannot find me. My Lord, cover me in mercy that will protect me from the torturous deception that spreads like a plague in this world. Hold me together with truth that only comes from Your Holy Word. Knit my heart-strings into a beautiful tapestry of faith and hope that cannot come undone. Under the beautiful Word of Psalm 18:1-3 and the authority of Christ, I delightfully and fearlessly pray.
I love you, God—
you make me strong.
God is bedrock under my feet,
the castle in which I live,
my rescuing knight.
My God—the high crag
where I run for dear life,
hiding behind the boulders,
safe in the granite hideout.
I sing to God, the Praise-Lofty,
and find myself safe and saved.
Psalm 18:1-3, MSG
