Anxiety & Fear
Psalm 121:1-3
Lord, when the call comes in the dark and my hands shake, I lift my eyes to the hills. My help comes from You, who made heaven and earth. Watch over me through this night. Amen.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
— Psalm 121:1-3
Psalm 121 is a 'song of ascents,' likely sung by pilgrims traveling up toward Jerusalem through rugged, exposed terrain where hills could hide both danger and help. The psalmist lifts his eyes to those hills and asks where his help will come from, answering immediately: from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth, who neither slumbers nor sleeps and watches over travelers day and night. It's a psalm written for people on an uncertain road, needing reassurance that they are being watched over even when they can't see the way ahead or control what happens next. This is a prayer for sudden, frightening news — the kind that arrives without warning and shakes you awake.
A new voiced prayer each day — for the morning, the commute, the sleepless 3 a.m.
