May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. (Psalm 20:1)

In times of trouble, we trust in the faithfulness of the God of Jacob, who hears the cries of His people and surrounds them with His protection. Just as He has been a refuge in the past, we pray for His hand to guard Israel today.

Lord, we lift Israel to You, asking that You answer in times of need and be a shield around her people. Strengthen and sustain them with Your peace, and let Your presence be their constant refuge and hope. Amen.
