[A song for those journeying to worship.] “I look up at the vast size of the mountains— from where will my help come in times of trouble? The Eternal Creator of heaven and earth and these mountains will send the help I need. He holds you firmly in place; He will not let you fall. He who keeps you will never take His eyes off you and never drift off to sleep.” ...Psalm 121:1-4 (The Voice)

What comfort we find in the words of this Psalm, as we can often feel overwhelmed by all that life throws at us, or requires from us, and support is hard to find. 

Yet, here we have a steadfast promise from God Himself, the One Who cannot lie, Who declares He will send the help you need in your time of need, in the exact way that you most need it.   He will never turn His back on you or turn away, for He watches over you, to guard, protect, and keep you in His care, every moment of each day and all through the night too!

Call out now cherished child, to your Guardian-God, the Eternal One, then wait and see, for the very substance of His help is on its way.  Watch for it to manifest and show up in the most extraordinary ways.  And remember, God is always by your side, and He will never let you down, and never let you go.  You matter far too much to Him for that to ever be so!

Prayer:

Lord, You hear our cries of distress, even before we utter a word.  And in hearing, You come as our ever-present help. 
You know the very things that hurt us.  Comfort comes on wings of love as You remind us that You will heal them all. 

You understand the hopes of our hearts and You assure us that our future is secure in You.

Creator and Redeemer, You are our Guardian God, and we put our trust in You.  An Anchor for our souls; forever steadfast and true. 

Beloved and Eternal God, that’s You!
