He Who Watches
A prayer for grief, from Psalm 121:3-4
Grief exhausts you, and even sleep gets complicated. This psalm offers a strange comfort: someone stays awake so you don't have to. He who watches over you will not slumber. A prayer for closing your eyes while being watched over.
He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:3-4 (NIV)
The prayer
Father, You watch over me without slumber or sleep. The Lord watches over my coming and going both now and forevermore. My help comes from You.
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.
