A Father's Love and Protection

 Psalm 61:1-8 TPT O God, hear my prayer. Listen to my heart’s cry. 2 For no matter where I am, even when I’m far from home, I will cry out to you for a father’s help. When I’m feeble and overwhelmed by life, guide me into your glory, where I am safe and sheltered. 3 Lord, you are a paradise of protection to me. You lift me high above the fray. None of my foes can touch me when I’m held firmly in your wraparound presence! 4 Keep me in this glory. Let me live continually under your splendor-shadow, hiding my life in you forever. Pause in his presence 5You have heard my sweet resolutions to love and serve you, for I am your beloved. And you have given me an inheritance of rich treasures, which you give to all your devoted lovers. 6 You treat me like a king, giving me a full and abundant life, years and years of reigning, like many generations rolled into one. 7 I will live enthroned with you forever! Guard me, God, with your unending, unfailing love. Let me live my days walking in grace and truth before you. 8 And my praises will fill the heavens forever, fulfilling my vow to make every day a love-gift to you!
