Let us put ourselves in the presence of our Lord. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />My Refuge and My Fortress.<br />He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High<br /> will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.<br />I will say[a] to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,<br /> my God, in whom I trust.”<br /><br />For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler<br /> and from the deadly pestilence.<br />He will cover you with his pinions,<br /> and under his wings you will find refuge;<br /> his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.<br />You will not fear the terror of the night,<br /> nor the arrow that flies by day,<br />nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,<br /> nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.<br /><br />A thousand may fall at your side,<br /> ten thousand at your right hand,<br /> but it will not come near you.<br />You will only look with your eyes<br /> and see the recompense of the wicked.<br /><br />Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—<br /> the Most High, who is my refuge[b]—<br />no evil shall be allowed to befall you,<br /> no plague come near your tent.<br /><br />For he will command his angels concerning you<br /> to guard you in all your ways.<br />On their hands they will bear you up,<br /> lest you strike your foot against a stone.<br /><br />You will tread on the lion and the adder;<br /> the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.<br /><br />“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;<br /> I will protect him, because he knows my name.<br /><br />When he calls to me, I will answer him;<br /> I will be with him in trouble;<br /> I will rescue him and honor him.<br />With long life I will satisfy him<br /> and show him my salvation.”<br /><br />Amen<br /><br />Psalm 91<br /><br />#prayers,#psalm,#prayer,#lord,#god,#jesus,#church,#famil,#love,#bible,#fortress,#refuge
