Reflection on “Be My Salvation”

Perhaps you’re facing a difficult situation today – a looming deadline, a challenging relationship, a spiritual attack, or a health concern.

In these moments, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and alone. The cry “Be My Salvation” can be a powerful prayer that reminds us of who our ultimate source of help is.

In Isaiah 12:2, it’s written:

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also has become my salvation.”

Make it your prayer: Throughout the day, when you feel overwhelmed or anxious, lift a silent prayer to God, saying, “Be My Salvation.”

Focus on God’s character: Remind yourself of God’s faithfulness, power, and love. By focusing on His character, you can build confidence and trust that He will see you through.

As you navigate life’s challenges, remember that God is your refuge and strength. He longs to be your salvation, offering deliverance, security, and hope.

The onus therefore rests on you to call Him to become your salvation – meaning to bring you deliverance from whatever opposition you face.
