You Can't Touch Me

 

Rebuke the beasts

   that dwell among the reeds.

 

               Psalm 68. 30

 

(All those fears take on

           scary disguises,

all those worries grow

           into frightful anxieties,

all those unknowns appear

    as fire-breathing dragons.

They rustle around

           where we cannot see them

   and make a lot of threatening noise,

but they do not have power over us.

Trusting in God defeats our foes,

            both real and imagined.

How would we approach this day

     differently

     if we walked with Him through it?)

 

O LORD,

We all struggle with something.

But You, O Lord,

        walk with us,

granting to us Your wisdom

         and strength

and the courage to

      bring Your name

      into whatever we face.

You are with us.

Help us to live that way today.
