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.

My Lord, the weight of my own failures and the critical whispers of the world often leave me walking with my head cast down in shame. I feel exposed to the arrows of discouragement. But Your Word reminds me that You are my shield, covering my vulnerabilities from every angle. You don’t leave me in my brokenness; You gently lift my head and restore my dignity. I face this day covered by Your grace. Amen.
