Read Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16

Whoever goes to the Lord for safety,

whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty,

²can say to him,

“You are my defender and protector.

You are my God; in you I trust.”

⁹You have made the Lord your^q defender,

the Most High your protector,

¹⁰and so no disaster will strike you,

no violence will come near your home.

¹¹God will put his angels in charge of you

to protect you wherever you go.

¹²They will hold you up with their hands

to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.

¹³You will trample down lions and snakes,

fierce lions and poisonous snakes.

¹⁴God says, “I will save those who love me

and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.

¹⁵When they call to me, I will answer them;

when they are in trouble, I will be with them.

I will rescue them and honour them.

¹⁶I will reward them with long life;

I will save them.”

Jesus overcomes temptation in the wilderness by remembering that he should only put his trust in God (Verse 2).

"When they call to me, I will answer them..." says the Lord.

Lord help me to trust only in you.
