But let all who take refuge in you rejoice

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; Let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Psalm 5:11 Sovereign Lord, you are my refuge and strength, my place of safety; a very present help in times of trouble and I rejoice in your Holy Name. Spread your protection over me, O God, over my loved ones, fill me with your love and let me feel your arms around me that I may walk in victory without fear regardless of my circumstances, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

How precious to me are your thoughts,God

How precious to me are your thoughts,God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you. Psalm 139:17-18 Loving Father in heaven, it always amazes me to know that your thoughts toward me outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore, and that your thoughts are loving thoughts, not thoughts to harm me or thoughts of condemnation. May I walk each day I get to wake up being thankful and grateful that I am still with you, O God, grateful for every blessing you have given me and for each moment I have with my loved ones, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I cry out in distress,and he hears my voice

​As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me. Psalm 55:16-18 Blessed Lord in heaven, I thank you for hearing my prayers, I thank you for being so merciful to me and for saving me from my troubles. I humbly come to your throne of grace to ask that you will continue to watch over me, to watch over my loved ones who are in distress, who are hurting and who need you as much as I do, O God. May your loving hand be upon us today and every day, may you heal our wounds and broken hearts and may your angels watch over us as we put all our trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Matthew 5:44-46 Loving and forgiving Lord, sometimes it is not easy to love those who have hurt or wronged us. I ask that you take away any anger, bitterness and hatred from my heart, clothe me with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Teach us to pray for those who have wronged us, Father, to extend your mercy and forgiveness to them, so that they may also come to know the peace of Christ you have given us, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The LORD sustains me

​But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. Psalm 3:3-5 You are my shield, O God, and I know that you are close to those who call upon your Holy Name. I am so thankful that I can sleep in peace and wake up knowing that it is you who wakes me up and sustains me. May your loving arms surround me and may I never forget you are my loving Father, who will always take care of me, I pray in Jesus name. Amen

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 Merciful Lord, you have full power and authority over everything, your Word is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Help me demolish any strongholds in my life, O God, equip me for battle against the spiritual forces I face daily, feed my spirit with your Word and strengthen my faith, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
