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.
