He who [dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand]”. Psalm 91:1 (AMPC)

There are times when we all need a hiding place from the circumstances of life, the trials and the challenges that wear us out, or seek to pull us down. We can be tempted to hide in people, places, or things, that may only make it worse, not better.
 
Yet there is one safe haven to run to, a dwelling place secure where no evil will befall you, where your presence is welcome and security assured. That sanctuary, dear heart, is straight into the arms of the One Who watches out for you, and watches over you, with age-enduring love and care.
 
You can rest here, in the arms of you Most High God, and give up the fight. He is contending for you—that you can count on—and He never loses when He is in charge!
 
Rest. Remain. Abide. That is what He so longs for, treasured one; that you would trust Him as your Shelter and Strong tower; Your Defender and your Champion God. That is Who He is for you now, with overcoming strength and might, and Who He will forever be.

Prayer:
 
Almighty God and Father, I bring my life, and all things concerning me, into the shelter of Your abiding love. You are my Great Protector, my Champion Defender, my Hero and my Hope.
 
All my life is in You Lord. All my life comes from You and is sustained by You alone. Where else could I go Lord? Why would I look anywhere but to You.
 
Your arms of faithfulness are a loving shied around me, and even now I know, You are protecting and perfecting my days in the most amazing and wonderous ways.
 
There is no one as worthy, or as Holy, as You are Lord. Matchless and Exalted God, there is no one like You in all the earth. There is no other help, no other God, but You!
