A Prayer about Help When We’re Vulnerable
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1
Maker of Heaven and Earth,
Whatever makes us feel vulnerable, weak, frail:
Our jobs, our health, our finances,
our families, our relationships,
the steady stream of bad news that flits across our screens…
Send us to our knees,
send us to our Bibles,
to remember where our help comes from—
From you, our Lord, our God,
our Shepherd, our Father,
our King of Kings and Prince of Peace.
You just happen to be the Creator of all good things,
the warrior who defeated evil,
the Risen One who overcame death,
the returning One who will bring us
to live forever in your eternal city of light and love,
of healing and joy,
in the new heavens and the new earth.
Indeed, Lord, in our weakness,
we have every reason to hope,
for you keep our lives safe and secure.
In Jesus’ protecting name. Amen.
Read Psalm 121.
