For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love. 
–King David

You are safe and secure in the refuge of God. That is the major theme.

The minor theme is the war raging outside, which we do need to take seriously. The enemy is arrogant, and he loves to intimidate us by making the war seem like the major theme. It is not. So let’s return to love.

All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. (1 John 4:15–17)

This is breathtakingly beautiful. God our refuge is unassailable love; as we intentionally choose to live in love, we secure ourselves within God and his refuge.

So I often find myself praying,

I take refuge in Your love, Jesus. 
I take refuge in Your love. 
Surround me with Your love. 
Shield me with Your mighty love.
