He Will Deliver Me

A prayer for grief, from Psalm 91:3

Despair works like a snare: quiet, gradual, and suddenly you're caught. This psalm prays for exactly that rescue, and answers with an image worth keeping: covered by his feathers, safe under his wings. A prayer for being freed and sheltered at once.

Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. Psalm 91:3 (NIV)

The prayer

Father, save me from the snare of despair. Cover me with Your feathers. Under Your wings I find refuge. Your faithfulness is my shield.

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.

If this is where you are, these may help too
