for I get scared so easily.
I’m scared right now.
Save me from myself,
and from all who would attack me
to make themselves feel or look better.
Remind me when I am afraid
to trust in you—
you, whose word I hold dear.
I will try to trust you
rather than fear what others might do to me.
Don't let others--
those who would harm me or my testimony,
sneaky, spying souls
who want to trip me up
and gloat over me--
twist my words.
Defend me from them, Lord God;
trip them up.
I know I’m complaining, but hear me anyway;
take note of my tears
and wipe them away.
Turn my enemies,
come to my assistance when I call for help.
I know that you are for me—
you, whose word I hold dear.
I will try to trust you
rather than fear what men might do to me.
I am beholden to you, O God;
I owe you infinitely more
than my thanks can convey,
for you have delivered me time and again,
you have caught me when I stumbled,
that I may walk before you
in the light of life. Amen.
