PRAYING SCRIPTURE
Psalm 121:1–8
When we choose to live by faith in God, we gain eternal life with Him and the fulfillment of His promises for life today. To choose Him, we turn our backs on the world’s ways. Although there is a cost to saying no to the world, what we gain through faith in God is incomparably greater. In fact, Paul described his worldly losses as mere “liabilities” (Phil 3:8). The writer of this psalm focused on how trusting God leads to the protection of our lives (v. 7). The psalmist, using the Hebrew word shamar (“to guard,” “to preserve,” or “to protect”), said that God is with us in all we do (v. 8). Thank the Lord that He guards you as you walk through life.
