Rescue me
A Prayer for Protection
1I come to you, LORD,
for protection.
Don’t let me be ashamed.
Do as you have promised
and rescue me.
2Listen to my prayer
and hurry to save me.
Be my mighty rock and the fortress
where I am safe.
3You, LORD God,
are my mighty rock
and my fortress.
Lead me and guide me,
so that your name
will be honored.
4Protect me from hidden traps
and keep me safe.
5You are faithful,
and I trust you
because you rescued me.
6I hate the worshipers
of worthless idols,
but I trust you, LORD.
7I celebrate and shout
because you are kind.
You saw all my suffering,
and you cared for me.
8You kept me from the hands
of my enemies,
and you set me free
Mountain refuges are amazing places. They are there to provide food and shelter to climbers and hikers, who otherwise would have nowhere to shelter. In them is found food and a bed to sleep in. They are a place of safety.
In God, we find shelter and safety, protection and care.
He is not just our “port in a storm”, but ever-present, ever-watchful, ever-loving.
Lord,
be my rock
my shelter,
my place of safety.
As I wander
lost,
guide me.
When I am weary,
lift me.
When I am frightened,
protect me.
Wrap me safely in your love
