God’s glory is all around me! His wrap-around presence is all I need, for the Lord is my Saviour, my hero, and my life-giving strength. Join me everyone! Trust only in God every moment! Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him. Believe me when I tell you—he will help you”! Psalm 62:7-8 (TPT)

Dear heart, what an amazing promise this is—filled with revelation of the goodness of God and His loving-kindness towards you. His glory is all around you! His wrap-around presence, your strength and your shield.

All that is in your heart—burdens, cares and concerns, heart longings, dreams, and desires—all matter to Him because you matter to Him! Your heart is His heart and His heart is yours.

Listen, beloved, and believe, for He will help you! That was His promise then; His assurance to you before time began; and His unfailing commitment to you now. Trust Him. Every moment of every day. Trust Him when help and hope seem far away.  He will not disappoint you, chosen one, for He has appointed you as the object of His affection and His love!

Let your Champion Defender do what He does best—provide, protect, love and care for you as He alone can do. Tuck up securely now,  into His strong and loving arms, and rest.

Prayer:

Dearest Lord, so often I have felt alone, like I had to contend for, and defend myself. I believed I was alone, but I see now, that just was not true.

Show me today, Jesus, where You were then, in all the lost and lonely days. Where you are now as I pour out my heart to You. And where we are going in the future, so that I can follow You.

My hero and my life-giving strength, I put my trust in You!
