Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me under
the shadow of Your wings
احفظني مثل
حدقة العين. بظل جناحيك استرني
Psalm 17:8
In the eighth verse of Psalm seventeen we find David
praying asking God to ‘keep’ him as the apple of God’s eye. Not to establish
him but to keep him. In other words he was already established as the apple of
God’s eye. The eye is weak and tender, and is hurt by every little thing that
annoys it. Nothing is dearer to a human than their eyesight and we are most
protective of preserving our eyes from being hurt. So as the apple of God’s eye
we are most protected by God.
God loves and values each believer and we; who have
chosen Jesus as our Lord and Saviour; are God’s number one priority.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your unfailing, inseparable, deep and
everlasting love for me and Your abundant blessings in my life.
Lord, I thank You that I am Your beloved creation,
the apple of Your eye, and You watch over every detail of my life and protect
me under Your wings. Help me Lord to surrender all aspects and details of my
life into Your hands, knowing that You love it when I come to You. Lord, let me
find peace and security in Your love for me. God I pray to You in the name of
Your precious Son; my Redeemer and Saviour; the Lord of my life, Jesus Christ. To
Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion
forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
