Read Psalm 71:1-6

Lord, I have come to you for protection;

never let me be defeated!

²Because you are righteous, help me and rescue me.

Listen to me and save me!

³Be my secure shelter

and a strong fortress^y to protect me;

you are my refuge and defence.

⁴My God, rescue me from the wicked,

from the power of those who are cruel and evil.

⁵Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you;

I have trusted in you since I was young.

⁶I have relied on you all my life;

you have protected^z me since the day I was born.

I will always praise you.

These verses of Psalm 71 are simple and heartfelt. What does it mean to trust in God for protection?

Lord protect my soul from the things that wear it down.

Lord protect me from my own negativity.

Lord protect me from temptations.

Lord keep me trusting in you.
