The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.—Psalm 121:5 (ESV)
The Bible is filled with verses about shade, shelter and taking refuge in the Lord. When stresses in your life heat up, remember that Jesus is your shade. He protects and shields you in the midst of trouble.
Lord, I pray the words of Psalm 57:1 (NIV), “Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in You I take refuge.”

The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)
