After a very demanding day on Saturday, plus a migraine, I slept late yesterday. The migraine continued, so I really didn’t expect to receive a prayer, but God can always surprise me:
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
(1 Corinthians 1:18; NLT).
1. Just to hold a cross, Lord,
Is to pray,
2. Knowing you are with me
Night and day,
3. Living all around me
And within:
4. I’m safe, Lord, in the shadow
Of your wing.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
(Psalm 36:7; NLT).
