“The name of The Lord is a STRONG TOWER; The righteous man runs into it and is safe (Proverbs 18:10).”

“This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him (Psalm 91:2).”

“For You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall (Isaiah 25:4).”

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging (Psalm 46:1-3).”

Lord, Today I pray for the hurting, the lost, and the desperate. Scripture tells us that you are a defense for those in distress. I pray you allow me to overflow Your love to those that need it most. Give me Your eyes so I can see people the way You see them. Forgive me for the times I have been quick to judge, and slow to listen. In Jesus name, Amen!
