Psalm 121
I often lament how I don't have as many people in my life that help me stay accountable in my walk with Christ. While we need these people in my life, I should not forget that God is watching over me all the time and that if I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me:
With God by side, I have greater confidence that I am protected from my own sin and the influence of others' sin. See also my various posts on this.
Better still would be for me to have these "one anothers" in my life:
The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. v7-8

13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. Hebrews 3:13
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God and You give me life to the full...You protect me! Thank You Jesus. I am not worth such efforts and love. I often seek my own comforts and desires vs You and Your glory. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from such sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin...and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
