God is Our Faithful Refuge (Psalm 57, Part 1)


As we pray for God’s mercy, He provides us a refuge from the assaults of our spiritual enemies. Then we can praise the faithfulness of God, who is exalted over the whole earth.

Prayer for our refuge (verses 1-6)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2057:1-6&version=NIV

May we base our prayer for refuge under the shadow of God’s wings on an understanding of God’s mercy. While God is above the heavens, His glory fills the earth with His presence. We come to God once for salvation and then repeatedly for help and protection. May our prayers express our desire for the glory of God’s presence in the heavens and over the earth.

God of mercy, have mercy on Your body in Jefferson County. We take refuge in You. Thank You for Your love and faithfulness. Guide us by Your faithfulness. We exult You, Lord God. We praise You for Your glory is over all the earth.
