Psalm 91 is a wonderful psalm that speaks to what is gained by making the Lord God our refuge. In these times of so much uncertainty, doesn’t it make sense that we need someone outside of ourselves to help us navigate our minds, our life and this world? I know I do. I often read this scripture but I personalize it. So I have it here for you to also personalize.
As caregivers we are faced the added burden during this pandemic of “bringing” the virus home to our loved ones. When we might take the chance to go out with our friends or family we have to put our immediate needs aside, again, and think of the person whom God has entrusted us to care for. So we don’t go or at least I don’t go. But I’m ok I know my calling in this season and I have accepted it. I’m good!
Psalm 91
____________ dwells in the shelter of the Most High, and she/he abides under the shadow of the Almighty. __________ says of the Lord, MY refuge and MY fortress: My God; in whom I trust.
For it is God who delivers ________ from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence (fatal infectious disease). God will cover _________ with His pinions, and under His wings __________ may seek refuge; God’s faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
_______ will not be afraid of the terror by night or of the arrow that flies by day; of the pestilence that stalks in the darkness; or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

“I will be with ____________ in troubles; I will rescue _____________and honor _________. With a long life I will satisfy _________, and let her/him behold My salvation.”
Remember God has given you the Spirit of Power, Love and sound judgment, use them well.
