A Little Concern

Read Psalm 91:9-16

Reflection of Tommy:

Many of us worry about others more than ourselves- our loved ones, family members, our children. That’s why in our prayers we often pour out to God to protect and bless them. Each time we hear any bad news about them, we are struck down with fear and worry. We think of the worst and panic fully occupied our mind.

In today’s comforting passage, we find the ‘cure’ to all our fear and worry in this life. No matter how intense our fears may be, we can trade them for faith in God, trusting Him as our shelter and refuge. We do this when we “dwell” and “rest” with Him (v9), entrusting ourselves and our loved ones to His protection and pledging our daily devotion to Him.

Dear Father, thank You for Your protection and Your love for me and my loved ones. Thank You that I can always trust in You and Your faithfulness; and that You are in control of all things. Thank You for being with me, hearing my prayers and deliver me from all my worry and fear. Teach me to fully rest and dwell with You, my Refuge and my Fortress (v2). In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
