Praying Through: Psalm 31:19-20

The Psalm

Psalm 31:19–20 (CSB)
¹⁹ How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you. In the presence of everyone you have acted for those who take refuge in you.

²⁰ You hide them in the protection of your presence; you conceal them in a shelter from human schemes, from quarrelsome tongues.

The Prayer

The All Good

My Lord,

my life bears witness
that you alone protect me
shield me
provide for me
and place your loving arms
wrapped around me.

You hold me like a child,

for I am just as vulnerable
and would be devoured by dogs
if it was not for you. I praise your holy name
for you are Lord Most High.
So be exalted
in my life
and with my words. Thank you for sparing me and thank you for saving my life Thank you for shielding me from the world from sin from Satan and his demons and sparing me from hell and protecting me from your just wrath.

Have mercy on me,

for all of my days
and bring me home quickly
so I can stare into your eyes
for all of eternity. Amen.
