A Prayer Shelter

It is wise to stay covered with prayer all around.
It becomes a cocoon in which peace will abound.
The power of prayer is a welcoming shelter
To which we can run from things “helter-skelter”.

We can be strong when all things are shaking
And have inner peace to soothe “nervous quaking”.
We’ll have a surety... a sense of deep calm...
A refuge and shield against every qualm.

Prayer is our anchor for all that we do.
We then are stable in all we go through.
We will not shudder or tremble or fear.
To God we will lift up a listening ear.

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace (shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace) which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified Bible
