My strength is in Your love, Lord God Almighty. When circumstances leave me on shaky ground, You are my rock and my deliverer. Into the refuge of Your truth I run when clouds of deceit threaten an otherwise sunny day of the soul. Stand me strong against the enemy because I know You have given me a shield of faith. Praise threads the fabric of my heart when I meditate on Your way with me, Lord. Encompassed by the cords of death due to my sin, Your mighty arm lifted me above the torrents of destruction. Though I am often entangled by doubt and tripped up by anxiety, You are my safe-haven. Even the fortress of my heart cannot deafen You to my cries. Help is available from heaven. Your Temple is accessible through the cross. My soul keels and rocks with anguish at my rebellion. Yet Your grace gives me solace from my misery. Pull me up onto the foundations of Your Kingdom. Let me never stray from the boundaries of Your goodness. Devour everything in me that is not worthy, Lord. Make me holy as You are holy. Perfect my ways to match Yours. Take me to the depths of Your heart. Under the blessed canopy of truth in Your Word set down in Exodus 15:2 and the authority of Christ, I come to the altar in prayer.

The Lord is my strength and my song,
    and He has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise Him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
Exodus 15:2, NIV
