Dear Jesus,
You are the strength of my life;
You are my rock, my fortress and my protector;
therefore, whom shall I be afraid?
You are my shield, my strong-tower and my stronghold.
I will call to You because You are worthy to be praised.
So, Father, I thank you for being my strength
and My God in whom I trust, Amen. (PSALM 27:1)
