in your life-giving light. (Ps. 56:13)

And lead us not into temptation...

please hurry to my aid, O God.
You are my helper and my savior;
O Lord, do not delay. (Ps. 70:4b-5)
Request the Spirit's wisdom and protection to walk in God's ways

My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
This I know: God is on my side!

yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised. (Ps. 56:9-10)
