Friday

Scripture Lesson: Psalm 71:1-6 Trusting God

Time to reflect: Pretty straightforward expression of trust, but not typical of how we think during times of stress or trouble.

Moving Throughout the day: Pray this as a prayer in regard to some problem in your life.

Prayer for Lifelong Protection and Help

1In you, O Lord, I take refuge;
   let me never be put to shame.
2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
   incline your ear to me and save me.
3Be to me a rock of refuge,
   a strong fortress,* to save me,
   for you are my rock and my fortress.

4Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
   from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
5For you, O Lord, are my hope,
   my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6Upon you I have leaned from my birth;
   it was you who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you.
