Just what I needed to read this morning!

“The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble;
the name of the God of Jacob defend thee” (Psalm 20:1).

“Send thee help from the sanctuary,
and strengthen thee out of Zion” (Psalm 20:2).

“Remember all thy offerings,
and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah” (Psalm 20:3).

“Grant thee according to thine own heart,
and fulfil all thy counsel” (Psalm 20:4).

I wonder how many people will pray that for me. (No, you don’t need to feel obligated to comment below that you will.)

I want to remember these verses and the hope I derive from them — I claim them as strengthening reassurance in the darkness that surrounds me.
