Reading: Psalm 121

Father God,
I am on a lifelong journey—
a pilgrimage to the heavenly Jerusalem.
When I become weary,
give me strength.
I need your help.
I know my strength comes from you,
Lord Jesus.
Amen.

“The LORD is my strength and my defense;
    he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
The LORD is a warrior;
    the LORD is his name.
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army
    he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.
The deep waters have covered them;
    they sank to the depths like a stone.
Your right hand, LORD,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand, LORD,
    shattered the enemy.
(Exodus 15:2-6 NIV)*
