Put me under your wings.

 This is the prayer of a child seeking shelter in the only place where true safety is found.

"Put me under Your wings."

The Scripture That Promises This:

Psalm 91:1-4: "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' ... He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge."

Psalm 17:8: "Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings."

Ruth 2:12: "The Lord repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!"

Matthew 23:37: "How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings."

A Prayer of Rest:

"Lord,

Put me under Your wings.

Not on the outside looking in,

but hidden, covered, held.

Let Your feathers be my shelter.

Let Your faithfulness be my shield.

When the storm rages,

hide me there.

When the enemy prowls,

cover me there.

When I am weak,

sustain me there.

When I am afraid,

let me rest there.

Under Your wings,

I am safe from accusation.

Under Your wings,

I am warm in Your love.

Under Your wings,

I am sheltered from every wind.

Under Your wings,

I am home.

I will not run to any other refuge.

I will not seek any other shelter.

Your wings are enough.

Put me there, Lord.

And let me never leave.

In Jesus' name,

Amen."

The Promise for You:

The One who covers you is the same One who spoke the universe into being, who parted the Red Sea, who walked on water, who rose from the dead. And He says:

"Under My wings, you are safe. Nothing can snatch you from My hand. Rest now, beloved. You are home."

Go in peace, hidden in the shelter of the Most High. You are safe. You are loved. You are His.
