Proverbs 18:10

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
A man in a checked shirt praying in a church, hands clasped together.

Lord Jesus, when unexpected troubles strike, my initial reaction is often to run toward panic, defensive anger, or frantic self-reliance. Forgive my slow faith. Your Holy Name is my impenetrable stronghold. When my mind feels overwhelmed, teach me to immediately run into Your presence through prayer. Thank You that I do not need to fight every battle in my own strength; I can simply retreat into the security of who You are and be completely safe. Amen.
