The prayer of the week is based on Isaiah 25:1, 4 

“O LORD, You are my God;” I am to exalt You and give thanks to Your name.  Why?  Because You are the One who worked wonders and Your plans have been faithfully carried out.

Your word tells me You are my defense because I am helpless.
When I am in distress I need You to defend me.
You are my refuge from the storms of life.
You are my shade from the heat.
Those who are ruthless and unrelenting in their opposition are like a storm.  And I need You.

Thank You for being my Defense, my Refuge, the Shade I need from the heat of daily pressures.

In the name of Jesus, amen.
