I Take Refuge in You

He came in alone...

Weary, tattered and worn.

He was weeping as he made his way to the altar, the only place where he knew he could find relief from his troubles. The only place he could be freed from his anguish.

In his distress, in his confusion, even in his altered state, deep in his heart he had the assurance that there was only one place to go for the rescue.

Praying today that our loved one would take refuge in the only one who can do the

rescuing.

October 11, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 25:16-18,20,22 NIV

[16] Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. [17] Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. [18] Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. [20] Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. [22] Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
