TODAY’S WORD…
.
Protect me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
.
I say to the Lord,
‘You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from You.’
.
– Psalm 16:1-2 (NRSV)

.
REFLECTION…
.
When, for whatever reason, I distance myself from God,
the goodness in me loses its divine protection
and I become openly susceptible to worldly corruption.
.
We can ill afford to remove ourselves from the Lord’s protection.
Without Him, we are nothing;
away from Him, our weaknesses can easily take over;
apart from Him, we have no good
and we make ourselves easy prey for the devil,
who is always there “prowling around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.” (cf. 1 Pet 5:8)

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

Protect me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
