My Very Present Help...

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.--Psalm 46:1

O Precious Father,

I so need to remember this...My heart finds so much comfort in the "very present" part.  You are nigh unto me, always.  You do not stand aloof at my trouble or my tears.  You fulfill the desire of them that fear You...You hear my cry and save me.  In You I live and move and have my being.  You are my refuge and my strength.  My flesh and my heart may fail, but you my God are my portion forever.

I will trust in You at all times and pour out my heart before You. You are the strong tower that I run to when I am afraid.   I will dwell in Your secret place and abide under the shadow of my Almighty God.

Lord, I flee to you...I lay hold of the strong consolation I have in Jesus, Your Son.  He is the anchor of my soul...The One that is sure and steadfast...the One who goes before me in righteousness...the One who intercedes for me without ceasing.

You are my Lord of hosts...the One who fights for me.  I will be still and know that You are God.  You, Father, are in my midst, I will not be moved.  You are on your throne...You reign.  All that happens to me, Your beloved, is for my good and Your glory.  As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness.  I shall be satisfied when I awake with your likeness.  Until then I will look to You and in the light of Your countenance, I will be radiant...unashamed and unafraid.
