"I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings." ~Psalm 61:4, NIV
Dear God,
As David surely knew, I trust You are the only one who gives full wisdom, courage and strength to people. I need that. But at the same time I need to know that I matter, that I'm not just a blob of atoms running around with no purpose.
I know when David felt that way, he would come before you, and I think that's why he says he wants to dwell in Your presence forever. Because You are good, and Your goodness radiates from whoever remains close to You.
And because You are good, You remove all evil from those who stay close to You. If fear is an evil, and I consider it as such, for it prevents me from coming as close to you as I could, won't You banish it?
Won't You protect me if I come to you?
Please do, for I am drawing close - and draw me closer!
Amen.
