I love you this morning my Lord, my God, my Jesus. You alone are my Rock and my very reason for living. So many times you have allowed me to be the instrument of your comfort for others. And many times others have been your comfort to me. Still it is always You being the comforter and the protector and the easer of the dark night of the soul. This is my Belt of truth. I gird You about me with confidence regardless of the size of the giant before me. You do not change. You never fail.
Today is no different. You have allowed a trial into the path of your chosen people which is more than we are able to bear. Yet there is no doubt that you are our God. You are the strength we know and love. You are the shield against all the fiery darts of the wicked. You are our rock, our fortress, our deliverer, the power of our salvation, our tower of safety. We call upon Your name for You alone are worthy to be praised. This is my Breastplate of Righteousness. Like the body armor protecting our soldiers and police, no instrument of Satan’s destructive desire can penetrate it. Righteousness never fails. Love never fails. Your truth never fails.
You are able to deliverer from any sickness or disease or tragedy which life is allowed to send our way. Nothing is too difficult for You. Forgive me Lord if I have for a moment forgotten You. If I have forgotten that nothing happens that You are not in complete control of.
I pray that I might know the power and presence of Your glorious forgiveness for You alone are able to cover that transgression. Every blessing which has touched my life is by Your hand. Every trial I have been drawn through is by the design of Your plan for good for my life to display Your great grace and mercy.
Others may see the temporary pain and distress, yet by Your grace I see your name and majesty as the symbol of Your love on each unbearable moment. This too shall pass. This is for your glory. As for You, my Lord, my God, Your way is perfect: Your word oh Lord is tried and proven: Therefore my feet are prepared to carry Your good news, Your Gospel, anywhere you desire for me to go.
You are the impenetrable shield to all those who trust in you. For who is God save the Lord? Or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like deer feet, and sets me upon my high places. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation: and Your right hand has held me up, and Your gentleness has made me know Your greatness as my own. You have enlarged my steps under me that my feet do not slip. I take up Your shield of faith knowing that even what I do not see cannot evade your mighty defense.
Today I cry unto You in confidence and in fear of that which is beyond my knowing. I do not wish to suffer or to see those I know and love to be defeated. My heart knows quite well, the Lord lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. The helmet of Your salvation covers, protects, promises and proclaims. I am your child. It fits as You have designed.
It is God that avenges me, and subdues all enemies under me. You deliver me from mine enemies: yea, You lift me up above those that rise up against me: You have delivered me from the violent.
The sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God is the weapon which all Your enemies fear. It is mine. It is in my heart and in me. Therefore will I give thanks unto You, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto Your name. You give great deliverance to Your servants; and show mercy to Your Anointed, to Your servant David, and all who believe and follow.
Therefore I have come to you this morning oh Lord whom I love. The need is great and the power within my hand is far too small. In faith I come believing that this mountain shall also be removed. For all of the weapons You have equipped me with are beyond any capability of the enemy to defeat. Yet this one course I know to have been tried and proven for You are ever faithful. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit I am before You this day.
Oh Lord deliver. Oh Lord heal. Oh Lord my love, my very reason for existing, be glorified in that which Your goodness allows and let Your servant live to praise and glorify You.
Thank You LORD Jesus.
