Reflection:
“In the Shadow of Your Wings” explores the imagery of finding safety and solace under God’s protective wings, as described in Psalm 91:1-4. This passage reassures us of God’s sheltering presence, especially significant for intercessors who often face spiritual battles and burdens.
Ruth 2:12 recognizes the protective aspect of finding refuge under God’s wings. It’s a metaphor for God’s care and provision, relevant for intercessors as they seek God’s protection and provision for those they pray for.
Matthew 23:37 shows Jesus’ longing to gather Jerusalem as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, reflecting God’s desire to protect and comfort His people. This verse can deepen intercessors’ understanding of God’s heart and foster a compassionate approach to intercession.
Psalm 17:8 further invokes the imagery of being hidden under the shadow of God’s wings, a plea for God’s protection against adversaries. For intercessors, this is a powerful expression of trust in God’s ability to shield and sustain us.
Application:
In your times of prayer, visualize yourself taking refuge under the shadow of God’s wings, finding peace and protection in His presence. Pray for those who are in need of God’s sheltering grace, whether they are facing physical dangers, spiritual warfare, or emotional turmoil. Let this imagery guide your prayers, asking for God’s protective care over your community, church, and the nations.
Prayer:
“Lord, in the shadow of Your wings, I find refuge and peace. Thank You for Your promise of protection and comfort. As I intercede for others, I pray that they too would experience the safety of Your sheltering presence. Protect us from harm, and cover us with Your peace, as we trust in You. Amen.”
This devotion is intended to encourage a deeper sense of security and trust in God’s protective grace, particularly in the context of intercession. Modify the content as needed to align more closely with the specific needs and spiritual focus of your intercessory group.

Song Lyrics
In the Shadow of Your Wings
(Psalm 91:1)
Verse 1
In the shadow of Your wings, I find my hiding place,
Safe from storms, beneath Your grace.
In Your presence, fear loses its sting,
In the shadow of Your wings, my heart can sing.
Chorus
In the shadow of Your wings, I am secure,
In Your love, forever pure.
Underneath Your heavenly canopy,
In the shadow of Your wings, I am free.
Verse 2
When the night falls, and troubles rise,
In Your shelter, my soul finds respite.
You are my refuge, my fortress, my king,
In the shadow of Your wings, under Your wing.
Bridge
Your faithfulness, a shield and rampart,
In Your shadow, You impart,
Peace that passes understanding,
In Your wings, I’m ever standing.
Chorus
In the shadow of Your wings, I am secure,
In Your love, forever pure.
Underneath Your heavenly canopy,
In the shadow of Your wings, I am free.
Outro
In the quiet, in the trust,
In Your shadow, we are just.
Ever near, ever dear,
In the shadow of Your wings, You’re here.
Pray for divine protection over families, intercessors, and those in the midst of spiritual warfare. May His wings stretch over you like a canopy of peace—your hiding place in every season.Spiritual Engagement
