O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge. // Psalm 7:2a

When I leave my warm bed to begin a long day:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When I look in the mirror and spot another grey hair:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When a giant spider jumps out from the laundry basket:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When my toddler dumps the bag of cereal on the kitchen floor:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When I cut someone off in traffic:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When my teenager talks back and I seethe inside:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When someone doesn’t replace the empty toilet paper roll:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When I watch the news and worry overwhelms me:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When I embarrass myself in front of people I wanted to impress:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When home becomes a whirlwind of busyness:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When I cannot find peace:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When I say my prayers and examine my conscience:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

When I lie down at night and as I sleep:
O Lord, my God, in You I take refuge.

Amen.
