My Battle Cry

by Lisa

Last Wednesday night, the ladies’ Psalms class focused on facing enemies. Using Psalm 3 as our example, we each rewrote David’s prayer in our own words. I offer mine up for the family:

A Prayer for Central

O Lord,
       How big our enemy seems! He is attacking from around every corner. He whispers in our ears: “Your God isn’t big enough; he can’t rescue you from this mess. Not this time.”
       But you, O Lord, are our shield. No enemy ever defeats you!
       So we use our voices to cry aloud to you, and you answer us in your holiness. You have saved us before; you will save us again. We are safe in your protection.
       We need not fear, not even multitudes of enemies. For you, our very God, arise to save. You bless your people. And we thank you, Lord, that by your grace, we are your people.
       Because of Jesus' blood,
       So be it, Amen
