My God, My Shield

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.

Psalms 3:3 NLT

God, I thank You that You are present with me, even right now. I want to become more aware of Your presence in my life. I look to You to be my shield, my refuge, and my protector. Restore my joy and help me live in light of Your grace and mercy. Help me keep my eyes on You in the midst of difficult times. In Jesus' name, Amen.
