“I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip – he who watches over you will not slumber; Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you – the LORD is your shade at your right hand; The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm – he will watch over your life; The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”¹

Uncertain times can cause a sense of insecurity in us. Our world is constantly changing, and the future may seem unpredictable. However, we can be certain of one thing… God is watching over us and we can trust Him. Whatever the future brings, we can rest knowing that the Lord is in control.

I encourage you to read and mediate on Psalm 121. When a stressful situation arises or we encounter challenges this week, may these words be constantly in our hearts and bring us peace.

Suggested prayer: “Dear God, thank you for your faithfulness. As the Psalm says, you are watching over my coming and going now and forever, and I can trust your word. Despite the uncertain times, I can rest secure in you. No one cares for me as much as you do, and I leave the unknown in your hands. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayers. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
