Psalm 91, starting at verse 14 says:

“Because he loves me,” says the LORD,

“I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call upon me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him

and show him my salvation.”

Lord God in heaven –

Give us the faith – the confidence – to know

You are there, You are great, and You will deliver us.

The Yuletide season can bring on emotional ups and downs.

But there is One who will never let us down –

our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ

in whose name we pray. 

Amen.
