If you've been struggling to find a safe season where you feel like you can't even trust anyone right now, there's a word from God for you. Psalm 61 Hear my cry, oh God. Listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you. I call as my heart grows faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God, have heard my vows. You've given me the heritage of those who fear your name. Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations. May he be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him. Then, I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day. Psalm 62 Truly, my soul finds rest in God. My salvation comes from him. Truly, he is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress. I will never be shaken. How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down? This leaning wall, this tottering fence? Surely, they intend to topple me from my lofty place. They take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their heart they curse. Yes, my soul find rest in God. My hope comes from him. He is my fortress. I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God. He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your hearts to him. For God is our refuge. Surely, the lowborn are but a breath. The highborn are but a lie. If weighted on a balance, they are nothing. Together, they are only a breath. Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods. Though your riches increase, do not yet set your heart on them. One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard. Power belongs to you, God, and with you, Lord, is unfailing love. And you reward everyone according to what they have done. God, I pray that you give people peace today, strength, safety in your presence. Allow us to be able to trust you. Even if we feel like we can't trust the people, God, I pray that we trust that you are sovereign and that you are guiding us and that you love us and care for us. Allow us to step forward in faith today trusting you. It's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. God bless you, friends.
