Where My Help Comes From

I look up to the mountains—
    does my help come from there?
My help comes from the LORD,
    who made heaven and earth!

He will not let you stumble;
    the one who watches over you will not slumber.

—Psalm 121:1-3 (NLT)

Loving LORD,

Let me always look to You to be my source of help for every moment that I live.

Help me never to look to lesser things to be my help, when there is no greater help than You—the Maker of heaven and earth.

Why would I look to created things to be my help, when because of Christ, I have direct access to the One who created all things?

So help me never to make idols of those things which You have created, by placing them before You—the ultimate source of all my help.

For like a loving earthly father, You hold me by my hand so I do not stumble, as I walk through this life on earth. 

And as my Heavenly Father, You watch over me at all times—never even pausing to rest—because of Your unfathomable love for me.

Let me always look to You to be my source of help for every moment that I live.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
