Week of October 21, 2007, Psalm 121

One of the Scriptures for Sunday is Psalm 121 – a psalm describing God’s sustaining power and protection:
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Dear Lord, thanks for Your protection in my life. Remind me, Heavenly Father, that my help does not come from anything or anyone on this earth, but only from You. My help comes from You, O Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

When I stumble in life and fall, You are there. When I sleep, You watch over me. When I am burned by the failures in life, You provide shade so I am not harmed. You keep me from all harm. You watch over me every day of my life. You watch over me as I leave in the morning, as I come back in the evening. You watch over me even as I stray from You and make wrong turns in life. You draw me back by Your unconditional love.

Father God, keep me close to You to face every situation, protecting and guiding me. Thanks for Your presence, Your joy, Your peace in my life. Amen.


The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His strength and His great peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
