Lord Jesus, since you love me, now spread your wings above me and shield me from alarm. Though evil would assail me, your mercy will not fail me, I rest in your protecting arm. ("Now Rest beneath Night's Shadow" - Text: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; tr. composite)

1 Corinthians 8-...but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
1 Kings 22-I saw the LORD sitting on His throne and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
Amos 6-Woe to those who are at ease in Zion and to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria...
Colossians 1.15-28-He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

I will protect you.

You protect me with the shield of Your wings.
You give me rest when weary.
I love You Lord.
I can see heaven through the gracious favor You give.
I can see heaven through tears with Your presence.
Keep me ever in Your wings.
Let me feel secure in You.
Forgive me when I am at ease with my own strength.
You, Lord Jesus are the firstborn and image of God.

Lord, keep me in Your care. When I think I can do it all by myself, forgive me. Return me to Your favor and bless me with Your security. ---Amen
