O God, You are my God. Early each day I seek Your face. My whole being thirsts for You … I long for Your tender touch. I have seen Your power at work and Your goodness rescuing the afflicted … do not forget Your servant. Because of Your loving kindness and steadfast concern for my welfare and needs, I joyfully give praise to Your name. For as long as I live, I will lift up Your name unashamed before the multitude. You have supplied all of my needs and You have been faithful when I could not be. Remember me in my affliction and watch over all of my days. Because You are my help, I will flee to the protection of Your covering wings when danger approaches. Because my heart remains steadfast in love with You, I know that You will uphold me with Your strong right arm. I am confident that whatever or whoever comes to do me harm will be struck down by Your awesome power and might. Preserve my life, O Lord, from the hands of my enemies.
Hear my cry and be not far from me. Take me into Your arms and reassure me that everything will be okay. Kiss me with a sweet caress and help me feel Your strength. In Your tenderness, remind me that if You are for me, who can be against me. I feel so feeble and incapable of dealing with the troubles in my life. Comfort me with the knowledge that in You all things are possible. Do not allow me to fall under the spell of my enemy because he seeks to destroy me and my love and trust in You. Instead, help me put on Your armor, realizing that my fight is not against men, but against evil forces and powers who only wish to do me harm. Send me your gentle reminders that I am not alone and sorrows like mine are common among many of my brothers and sisters. I know that I must rest in the truth that You are my all in all and You will deal with me fairly. I need You Lord … Your strength … Your courage … Your hope … Your peace … Your joy … and a sound mind. Without them, I will surely perish.
O Precious Lord, the God of mercy and love, I bow down to You knowing that You hold me in the palm of your hand. I know Your works are awesome to behold and, through your almighty power, all of my enemies will submit themselves to You. Because of Your efforts on my behalf, I will be Your witness crying out: “Come see the works my God has done. He is fearless on behalf of His own.” O Blessed Savior, none but You deserve honor and praise. For when You have tried me by fire, I will be made more precious and beautiful than either silver or gold. For You will deliver me from my afflictions and restore me to wholeness. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Isaiah 49:13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord gives comfort to His people and will have compassion on His afflicted ones.
