Psalm 3:3

But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
A man in a checked shirt praying in a church, hands clasped together.

Lord, I confess that when pressures compound, my head sinks down under the weight of discouragement and shame. I look at my own failures and feel entirely defeated. But You do not leave me in the dirt. You are a complete shield around me, guarding my front, my back, and my vulnerabilities. Reach down in Your gentleness today and lift my head. Remind me that my identity is found in Your glory, not in my performance. Amen.
