A Scripture and a Prayer: “Our Refuge and Deliverer”

“In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me!” (Psalm 31:1)

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, You made Your Son who knew no sin, to be sin on our behalf so that we might attain Your righteousness by faith in Him. And so it is in this truth that we take refuge from the destroyer of our souls, the avenger of blood, Satan. Therefore, it is to You what we flee, Lord Jesus, as that refuge for our souls, and that stronghold from our enemies. Redeem us, O Lord, and forgive our sins, and make us clean and into that new creation for Your glory. And so, like King David we pray, “You, O Lord, are my refuge and fortress, my God, in You will I trust.” AMEN
