It’s important to stand guard at times. There’s so much that can bombard us, so much that can keep us from what truly matters. Maybe we could all use a gorilla of a guard. IMG_3167

God wants us to be safe. God guards us with the biggest arms of safety.

Sometimes things happen that we can’t always be safe, but if we turn to God in prayer when we feel afraid, we might find a protection that is deeper than we will ever know.

Who are the guards in your life? Or do you feel you are your only guard? Is there someone around you who needs guarding? Reach out and see what you can do to help the person — perhaps you can guard each other.
