Heavenly Father,
In the multitude of life’s challenges, we turn to You, praising Your name always. We sought You, Lord, and You answered us; You delivered us from all our fears. Those who look to You are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
This poor soul cried, and You heard us, Lord, and saved us from every trouble. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them. O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.
Fear the Lord, you His holy people, for those who fear Him lack nothing. Young lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Lord, teach us to fear You and to seek Your face always.
Keep our tongues from evil and our lips from speaking deceit. Let us turn from evil and do good; let us seek peace and pursue it. For Your eyes, Lord, are on the righteous, and Your ears are attentive to their cry.
In our struggles and joys, let us remember Your presence and providence. In Your righteousness, lead us and guide our steps. May we always find our strength and refuge in You, O Lord.
In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.
