My God, My Place of Safety

How awesome You are, My Loving Savior.  You rule the earth with compassion and justice.  You subdued the powers of Hell so that I could live in freedom from sin and eternal death.  You chose me as your own and are My Advocate before the Father.  You gave me Your name and an inheritance.  I will forever be blessed because of our relationship.  I will offer You perpetual praise because of the many good things You have done on my behalf.  It is consoling to know that in times of trouble I can run to You My Refuge, Strength and Everlasting Help.  I will not fear when calamities or adversity come into my life because I know You stand with me.  When circumstances do not go my way, I will not become discouraged because I can count on You to find a way to overcome them.  And when life turns up the heat, I will not wither because You will protect me from all harm.

If my life becomes filled with stress, worry or bewilderment, I will pray for Your intervention and trust that You will send the Holy Spirit to comfort and strengthen me.  When life beats me down, I will await the rivers of cooling waters that will emulate from my inner being to refresh me and wash away my cares and worries.  You, O Lord, stand as my fortress and a place of refuge where I can escape to safety.  Those who dare to come against me will see Your might, tremble and flee.  I will rest on Your promise that “every weapon formed against me will not prevail”.  I trust that You will infuse me with the power and wisdom to overcome any circumstance, trial or problem that I face.  Help me learn to be still and watch as You show Yourself to be my shield and strong right arm.

In my greatest times of need, I must learn to “let go and let God” for You are faithful in everything You say and do.  In honor of Your protection and covering over me, I will forever praise You with every breath that I take.  You alone are the One, True God to whom I owe homage for … You have delivered me from the hands of the Devourer … You have made me complete, lacking in nothing … and, You have been my covering from any harm that might come my way.  I will strive to glorify You in all that I do as I take up my cross to follow in Your footsteps.  No longer will I live to fulfill my will, but Yours.  I want Your help in becoming an instrument of Your love and good will to all men.  And when danger comes my way, I will always flee to the safety of Your arms.  And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray.  AMEN!!

Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
