Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him, my Saviour, who is the help of my countenance and my God."

"You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day ...
Because you have made Jehovah the Lord your refuge, the Most High your habitation, the safe-resting place and shelter..."

Lord You are my refuge, my strength, my God in whom I rely.
On You God who liberates me I do set my hopes,
do not disappoint me, answer my questions
and give me direction to go forward in this life
and to be prepared to enter Your Kingdom.
