Defender
At our last retreat, our praise band led us in a new song: Defender. This song has been on repeat since then, and the lyrics serve as a great reminder and prayer. We are thankful that God is our defender; that he never leaves us and always provides for us.
God,
Hear our praise with these words. Hear our thanksgiving for your guarding of our hearts and your care for us when we feel lost.
“When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me.
You reintroduced me to Your love! You picked up all my pieces;
Put me back together. You are the defender of my heart!
Lord, we also thank you for the generosity of your people. We are excited to build a new deluxe lodge at Camp Akiva. We pray that this new building provides new space to serve your children well!! Amen!
