God's Presence is Security

O Lord, you are my king and protector. It just seems that as of late my life is so swamped in trials that I feel that I'm unfairly treated. I've seen other people with such seemingly perfect lives. Mine on the other hand just seems so full of my own failures and trials. I don't consider those others my enemies but I feel there is a great unfairness to this. But you rebuked me, telling me to rest in you and to instead seek your face. You told me to just be in my presence and to abide in you. I know I will see your salvation. I know I will see your help. O Lord I do not claim to be righteous but I desperately need your help. I am but a weak child. I am swamped by trials and the Devil gloats over me. I need your grace, O God. Be my defense, my fortress. May I rest in your warm, strong embrace.
