Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!

Only by your power can we push back our enemies; only in your name can we trample our foes.

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my eyes focused on you, protect me from the darkness that wants to draw me in. It’s only in your power I can delight no matter what the struggle is before me. You are ever present and your strength is so much better than mine.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
