S – But my eyes look to you, Lord, my Lord. I seek refuge in you; do not let me die.^, 

⁹ Protect me from the trap they have set for me, and from the snares of evildoers.

Psalms 141:8–9 CSB 

O – We can look to God:

To be a place of refuge:  châçâh, to flee for protection; to confide in:— have hope, make refuge, (put) trust

To protect us:   shâmar,  to hedge about (as with thorns), i.e. guard; gen. to protect, attend to,

The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words 

A – In God’s unlimited power, He is also intimate enough to know our need for protection and relationship.  Confiding in him our hearts pain and joy create a genuine hope and faith in Him.  When He moves to protect and attend to us, we are safe.  We can see that physically but the peace and contentment in our hearts gives us the strength to keep taking steps forward.

R – Heavenly Father, you are holy, just and unlimited in your character and abilities.  Meet us where we are at in our journey.  Minister your peace and contentment to us.  Let us feel your protection and presence as we abide in you.  We desire that level of intimacy today.
