I love You, O God of My Strength. You are My Rock, My fortress, and My Deliverer in whom I trust. Whenever my enemies or circumstances come to overtake me, You are there to rescue me. In my times of trials and distress, I call out to You and I am confident that You will be there for me. Throughout my life, pain and sorrow have been my constant companions. I have found the ungodly every way that I turn and they tempt me to follow in their ways. Snares have been laid out by my enemies to trap me. In my times of difficulty, I call out in my struggles and I am assured that my pleadings have been heard by You.
When I am threatened, You send forth the Holy Spirit and unleash Your mighty Angels to come to my aid. They cause my enemies to flee and they bind up my wounds. The power of Your loving kindness has built a hedge around me so that I will be able to find time to rest. Your sweet anointing covers me … to refresh me and renew my strength. You, My Lord, have delivered me from very strong enemies … those who hate me and attempt to resist me on every side. You have preserved me in my days of calamity or I would have suffered beyond my comprehension. Instead, You have brought me to a higher and better place. As Your beloved, You have drawn me to Your bosom and held me tenderly. You have rewarded me for my good efforts and my submission to Your will. You have cleansed me with Your very own blood.
As a result of Your kindness, I will strive to always walk in Your ways and separate myself from evil. I will take heed to Your statutes because they show me a better way. A way filled with blessings, peace and safety. With mercy and compassion, You have formed within me a new heart that will enable me to know, love and serve You. As I walk in Your ways, You shadow will cover me. You have rescued me from my afflictions and have lit a lamp to guide me out of the darkness in which I found myself. With Your help, I can outrun my enemies and leap over the hurdles they have put in my path. I know that Your ways are perfect and Your words endure forever. Your power protects those that You love. It is You who has saved me … strengthened me for battle … perfects me for the challenges of each day …set my feet on solid ground … and, has delivered me from trouble and those who wish to do me harm. It is in Your strength and might that I have been saved. May You reign forever!! And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
