Selah Day: God as our Refuge

The thing about making prayer consistent is that you need to realise that prayer is about talking to God, spending time with him, and allowing him to be your refuge and strength. Prayer is not about making you wearier but bringing refreshing and peace to a weary soul.

Today, we are going to pray through Psalm 46 in our next Selah moment. Now remember, we are not just reading the Psalms, but allowing the words in Psalms to be the platform of our prayers. So read aloud a line and then pray from what you have read.

Today’s psalm is all about God as our refuge and strength. That in the times of trouble he is the one we run to; he is our ever-present help in trouble.

Remember when Daniel and his friends were in trouble - the consistency and foundation of their prayer life allowed them to run to God, not away from him. Don’t do trouble alone, run to God in prayer. The Lord Almighty is with you.

Prayer for today

Lord, I ask that you shift my thinking from “I can’t pray because I’m too tired,” to "I need to pray because I am too tired.” Let my prayer life be a place of refreshing; a time where I run to you as my refuge and strength.
