Hold Us, Father

Psalm 34: 18: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

 

The news we hear from our country and around the world speaks of tragedy, violence, strife. In our homes and in our neighborhoods, we have sorrow, and fear, and strain. Lord, you are the father we call to. Hold our hands, wipe our eyes, cradle us in your arms.

 

Isaiah 41:13: “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you,

‘Do not fear, I will help you.’”

 

1 Peter 5:7: Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

 

Psalm 40:1-2: I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

  3. So many people are so stressed over so much, especially circumstances they can't control. If only they would turn to God's word and realize that He is in control and there is no need for fear!
