Though there is a distance lie between you and the infinite Creator—yet there are links uniting both, when a tear is wept by you—God beholds it! “Like as a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him.” (Psalm 103:13)

Your sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah; your whisper can incline His ear unto you; your prayer can stay His hand; your faith can move His arm. Do not think that God sits on high taking no account of you. However poor and needy you are—yet the Lord thinks upon you. “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9).

Lord, I pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over our kids (grand kids). Keep evil far from them, and help them to trust You as their refuge and strength. I pray You will guard their minds from harmful instruction, and grant them discernment to recognize truth. I pray You will make them strong and courageous in the presence of danger, recognizing that You have overcome and will set right all injustice and wrong one day. Help them to find rest in Your shadow, as they live in the spiritual shelter You provide for them. Let them know that the only safe place is in Jesus, and that their home on earth is only temporary (Ryan Duncan)
