The Lord Surrounds
A prayer for fear & anxiety, from Psalm 125:2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people: protection in every direction at once, which is precisely where anxiety claims the exposure is. A prayer for feeling surrounded by the right thing for a change.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore. Psalm 125:2 (NIV)
The prayer
God, You surround me like mountains around Jerusalem. I cannot be shaken when I trust in You. You endure forever.
Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today. Amen can wait until you mean it.
