Almighty God, your right hand is like no other. Your strong right arm raises up nations and brings them down. Your right hand holds your people and no one, nor no thing can remove them. That promise includes me. You hold me gently and lovingly, yet firmly. Thank you for the assurance that provides. Thank you for the protection. Thank you for the hope. My hope lies within your powerful, righteous right hand. Forgive my shakiness when I look over the edge of your palm into the abyss around it. Empower me. Use me. I ask these things in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.” (Psalm 139:7-10 ESV)
