The Lord replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.”
– Psalm 12:5 (NLT)
GOD RESCUES
A poem and essay by ILMA
What concerns do you have today?
Are you overwhelmed with what others say?
Is there someone who is doing you harm?
Pray and ask God help so you can be armed.
Put on God’s armor so you can stand firm against evil
God rescues his people to have victory over the devil
He will never allow anything to happen to his children
Have peace for he is reserving a place for you in heaven.

There is so much violence in our world today. I am sure that not all those who are experiencing abuse are bold enough to admit that what they are going through especially when the abusers are someone they love or have authority over them. This is the perpetual cycle of abuse. The abusers isolate the victims so that they don’t get out of the circle of violence. Those victims who do not seek help and come out in the open will find themselves in the trap because they are so used to it and they get used to be the victim because of the fear of change. The Lord rescues us, let us run to him.
PRAYER
Lord, protect me from violence.
REFLECTION
Why should we run to God for protection?
