“The Lord is my light and my salvation –
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life –
of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1) (NIV)
We are concluding our summer in the Psalms with Psalm 27. This is a bold psalm - a confident prayer - that relies entirely on God for protection. The encouragement in the psalm is to look to God, no matter our circumstances. I hope that you'll be able to join us on Sunday, as we look at Psalm 27 together.

by night, but I find no rest.” Psalm 22:1-2 (NIV)
Maybe these words have some resonance with you, as we look back over the past few months, perhaps you feel these words without COVID and lockdown.
