When all else fails in my life, I find refuge in You, Lord. There is sweet preservation in the enveloping grace of Your Spirit. Apart from You, I find no good thing. Your Name is set as the core of my heart’s identity. I never knew the meaning of excellence until I met You, my Savior. My soul never understood the essence of delight until You showed it to me. When sorrows chased me down, You stood between me and my past. You have multiplied goodness in my life. You have blessed me beyond what I deserve. Let me pour out my praise in daily portions. I look to You to draw the boundaries in my life. I take Your Name upon my lips. Whether I have pleasant places in this world or not, I rejoice because my inheritance is in You. Your counsel is my sustenance. Your love is my strength. Through the open avenues of the heart Your Word instructs me. Keep me from faulty interpretations. I set You before me continuously. Shield me from deception as You make my heart glad and claim my whole being as Yours. Under the manifold blessing of Your Word in Psalm 62:7-8 and the authority of Christ, my Savior, I come to the altar in prayer.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.
Psalm 62:7-8, ESV
