O God, our Rock, You are our shelter when storms come our way. We are secure, no matter what news we hear of danger. You are our defense. We will not be alarmed or fearful.

When the wind rages around us, we have our safe retreat in You, knowing You can calm the storm to a whisper and still the waves. You alone are our refuge, be ever near us, we pray. Keep us safe through this time.

Lord, we give thanks to You, for You are good; Your faithful love endures forever. Please draw near, and be our safety. We praise You for Your great love and the wonderful things You have done for us. Amen.

Amen.
