The LORD
Of Hosts
Is With Us
God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth shall
change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its water
roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah
There is a river whose streams make
glad the city of
Come, behold the works of the LORD;
see what desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the
end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear; he burns the
shields with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.” The LORD of hosts is
with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
It is hard to be a care-giver. God,
family, and friends are most often cited as sources of strength by people who
are caring for others. Many of those who provide caregiving
rely on prayer. Through prayer, we can step into the calming presence of the Lord
and find strength to go on. As we bring our heartaches and needs to God, He
meets us where we are and gives us His peace. He is an ever-present help who
cares for us in every situation.
Caregiving is a high
calling and a difficult task. But there is strength from the Lord to help us as
we care for those who need us.
Prayer puts us
in touch with God – our greatest caregiver.
