“1 ¶ «A Song of Ascents.» I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. 4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. 6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.” (Psalm 121:1-8 NKJV)

When life beats me up I look down in fear and weariness

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help?

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.

Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Prayerful question: Does my prayer look down in despair or call out to God to be our hope and help?

Do not not despair God is with you

You will despair if you do not believe
