A Prayer about Our Rescue in Distress

Lord of Angel Armies,

When we are hard-pressed on every side (2 Cor. 4:8-12), 

may we cry out to you.

With you on our side, 

whom shall we fear (Psalm 118:6)?

With you as our helper, 

what can man do to us (Psalm 118:6-7)?

With you as our refuge, 

what human would we trust in (Psalm 118:8)?

When we feel utterly defeated by human foes, 

may we remember that the evil one, 

who hates us fiercely, 

has already succumbed to defeat 

by Christ our Savior. (Psalm 118:7). 

In the name of our friend Jesus we pray. Amen.

Read Psalm 118:1-29.
