My loving and merciful HEAVENLY FATHER, I humbly thank You for Your unending faithfulness to me through Your Holy Word. Your unfailing promises have been my refuge and my strength. Thank You, Holy Father, that You have delivered me from the schemes of the wicked—my battle is Yours! Take it and use it for Your greater glory and honor. The beauty of Your interminable presence always bring a smile to my heart ... to my soul. Your presence has been my dwelling place ... my hiding place. Thank You for giving me Your angels to guard me ... to watch over me day and night ... to care and to keep all my loved ones safe and protected against all harm. Thank You, my compassionate Father, for giving me back the joy of my salvation—my heart is filled with peace, and gladness! In Your presence, my wisdom is exceedingly growing they outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore. Thank You for letting me see the dawning of a new day—I found a new hope ... a new perspective. Father, I will dwell in Your abiding presence all the days of life! Above all, thank You, for loving a noboby like me. In Jesus' name, my Savior and my God, I pray, amen.
PSALM 91
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.
