Psalm 91:9-16 (New International Version)

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Just another testament to how much we are loved by God. Here's the PROMISE that He will command His angels to guard you in all your ways. WOW! They will lift us up in their hands, so that I won't even strike my foot on a stone! Amazing, just amazing. Read this today, and just was wondering why we don't pray this for our loved ones (and ourselves) more often.


LORD, Most High, You are awesome! Your love for sinners like me just amazes me. So does your faithfulness. Lord, I fail you often. I know my sinful nature is constantly battling my desire to serve you. And yet, You are faithful to forgive me when I do things I do not want to do. I am so thankful for your forgiveness and grace. I am so thankful You love each and every one of us the way You do. Thank You for the promises You give us in Your Word. Thank You for knowing and meeting all our needs. Father God, I pray that I will conintually make You my dwelling place and refuge. And I pray I will remember to acknowlegde your name, always. God I ask that you will keep my loved ones or turn my loved ones toward You. You know and love them just the same. I pray they will forever make You their dwelling place and refuge. And God I just thank you again for your forgiveness through Christ Jesus. Help me to embody your characteristics of love, grace, mercy, forgiveness and compassion to my neighbors. Help me to radiate Jesus and glorify You. It is through Jesus that I boldly come to You. Amen.
