“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God …” 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)
Lord, I am safe with You. Your shelter and shadow comfort me in my loneliness. I will proclaim You are my refuge and my fortress; therefore, I will not fear (Psalm 91:2). As a refuge, You are my quick place to duck into when fear starts nipping at the edges of my emotions. I close my eyes and trust Your promise to be my safe place. Fear tells me I’ll always be alone, yet Your Truth assures me I’m never alone. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. You are also my fortress — a strong, high place where fear can no longer have access to me. Fear can’t catch what it can no longer reach. What a comfort this is. What a comfort You are. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Lord, thank You for who Your Son, Jesus, is — One who deeply understands how hard it can be simply to be a human. Thank You for the truth that when I’m praying, You hear me. Because Jesus has overcome the world, I know You will help me overcome what I’m facing right now as well (John 16:33). As I lie down to sleep each night, I will also lay down my need to know the “why” behind certain questions I have. You will carry the reasons things happened because only You know what to do with those. And You will carry me. I love You, God. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
