Good Morning, God,
Lord, in the language of Hebrew, your Jewish nation has recently resurrected an ancient biblical image. During the intense shelling between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the Israelis named the operation as "Operation Pillar of Cloud," and reminded us of when the nation of Israel was led out of Egypt to the desert to wander for a long time before entering the Promised Land.
Your Word tells us, Lord, that the Pillar went before the nation during the day to guide them and stood guard behind them to protect them at night. The idea of the Pillar of Cloud is to have God's protection in all ways - physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Lord God of Hosts, whose purpose is never swerving, lead us in our daily tasks through the deserts of our lives. When darkness falls at night or when the sun goes dim during the day, protect our hearts, minds and backsides from any and all attackers. And, Lord, may we always see your cross as our pillar of strength, faith, hope and love.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
