Grief is the scorpion, lashing out a sharp tail that stings you.

The pain pulses. Shocks. Paralyzes. 

You want to run away from it.

But where would you go? Come to Me rather than searching for an escape route.

Even in the fog of heartbreak, you are safe in Me. I will protect you as you heal.

I am your warrior, standing in the gap to oppose the scorpion’s strikes of grief. I am your defender when pain threatens you.

Come to Me.

I will protect you.

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by. 

I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.

Psalm 57:1-2 NLT
