Gods Protection
Lord I thank you that I can trust you to protect me.  I thank you for being my defense.  I will sing of your power.  I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning for you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.  Unto you, oh my strength, will I sing; for you are my defense, and the God of my mercy.  (Psalms 59:16-17)

Lord I thank you that you protect me.  You are my rock and salvation; you are my defense; I shall not be moved.  You are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength and my refuge is in you.  Lord I thank you that you protect me.  I thank you for being my shield and that you cover me from danger and that you protect me from distress and injury.  You are a shield to me because I put my trust in you.  (Proverbs 30:5)  I will trust and take refuge in the Lord!  I will lean on, rely on and be confident in you, God.  You are my help and my shield.  I will reverently fear the Lord.  I will trust and lean on the Lord!   (Psalms 115:9-11)  You tell me to fear not; for you are my shield and my exceedingly great reward.  (Genesis 15:1)  You are my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, my deliverer; my shield, and the one in whom I trust.  (Psalms 144:2)

God I thank you that I can trust you to be my protector, the guardian of my way.  I dwell in the secret place of the most high and I will rest in the shadow on the Almighty.  I will say of you Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I will trust.”  Surely you will save me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.  You will cover me with your feathers and under your wings will I find refuge.  Your faithfulness will be my shield and buckler.  I will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the destruction that lays waste at noonday.  A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me.  I will only observe with my eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.  Even as I have made the Most High my dwelling--- even the Lord who is my refuge- therefore no harm will befall me, no disaster will come near my tent.  For you will command your angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways; they will lift me up in their hands, so I will not strike my foot against a stone.  I will tread upon the lion and the cobra and trample over the great lion and the serpent.  “Because the Lord loves me, He will rescue me; He will protect me; for I acknowledge His name.  I will call upon His name, He will answer me; He will be with me in trouble, He will deliver me and honor me.  With long life will he satisfy me and show me His salvation.  (Psalms 91)

God is my refuge and my strength, a very present and well-proven help in trouble.  Therefore I will not be afraid, even though the earth should shake and change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult; I will be still and know that you are God.  I will pause and calmly think of that!  (Psalms 46)  I love you Lord because you hear my voice and my supplications, you incline your ear unto me, and therefore will I call upon you as long as I live.

The Love of God

Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so . . . . .

The Lord has appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.  (Jer. 31:3)
Lovingkindness [Greek ‘hesed’] meaning: unfailing love, loyal love, devotion, kindness, covenant relationship, mercy
How excellent is Thy lovingkindness, O God, therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.  (Psalms 36:7)  Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, O God, according to they lovingkindness: according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.  Wash me thouroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.  (Psalms 51:1-2)  Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.  Thus will I bless thee while I live.  I will lift up my hands in thy name.  (Psalms 63:3) 

He loves me so much.  He loves me!  He loves me!

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me bless his holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all my iniquities, who healeth all my diseases.  Who redeemeth my life from destruction; who crowneth me with loving kindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth my mouth with good things; so that my youth is renewed like the eagles.  The Lord executeth rightieousness and judgement for all that are oppressed.  He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.  The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.  He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger forever.  He has not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy towards them that fear him.  As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.  For he knoweth our frame; he rememberest that we are dust.  As for man his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he glourisheth,  For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.  But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children.  To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments the Lord has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.  (Psalms 103)

He loves me so much.  He loves me!  He loves me!

“The Love of God” a Hymn by F.M. Lehman
The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell 
It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair bowed down with care, God gave his son to win 
His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from his sin 
God’s love so sure, shall still endure, all measureless and strong
 Redeeming grace to Adams race, the saints and angels song  
Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk of earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky
O love of God, how rich and pure, how measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure the saints and angels song

But God commandeth his love towards us, in that, while we where yet sinners, Christ died for us.  (Romans 5:8)  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world thru him might be saved.  (John 3:16-17)

“For God so Loved Us” a Hymn by August Rische
For God so loved us he sent the Savior
For God so loved us, and loves me too
He sent the Savior the blest Redeemer
He sent the Savior to set me free
Love so unending! I will sing Thy praises
God loves His children, loves even me!

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God.  (Ephesians 5:2)  But God who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved me, even when I was dead in sins, hath quickened me together with Christ, [by grace I am saved] and hath raised me up together, and has made me to sit together I heavenly places with Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness to me through Christ Jesus.  (Ephesians 2:4-7) He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that heart, and establish me in every good word and work.  (2 Thess. 2:16-17)  For I am persuaded to believe that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38)

He loves me so much.  He loves me.  He loves me.  He loves me so much, he loves me so much!  May my Lord Jesus Christ grant me, according to the riches of his glory, strength with might by his Spirit in my inner man; that Christ would dwell in my heart by faith; that I might be rooted and grounded in love, that I might be able to comprehend the breadth and length, and depth and height of his love; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that I might be filled with all the fullness of God.  (Eph. 3:16-19)  Jesus grant me strength in my spirit to know the fullness of God’s love.  Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even my Father, which has loved me and hath given me everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort me.

Jesus Loves me  . . . . . the Bible tells me so !

Who I am in Christ
      I am a child of the Most High God.  Father I accept your love.  Thank you that your love is infinite and unconditional.  I choose not to determine my worth by what I think about myself.  I choose to determine my worth by that God thinks about me.  You said I do not belong to this world.  You have chosen me out of this world.  Thank you for choosing me.  Thank you that I am your cherished and treasured possession.  (1 Peter 2:4)  I am indeed disallowed by men, but chosen of God and precious.  (Romans 8:1)  For I have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear but have received the spirit of adoption, whereby I cry Abba Father.  The Spirit itself beareth witness with my spirit that I am a child of God

I find my fulfillment in you Lord.  I will pursue only you Lord.  You know my hearts desires and my deepest longings and with you I will be truly and eternally satisfied.  (Psalms 16:11)  Thou wilt make known to me the path of life and in Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand are pleasures forevermore.  (Psalms 73:25)  Whom have I in heaven but Thee?  And there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.

(Psalms 136) O Lord thou hast searched me and known me.  Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandeth my thought afar off.  Thou compassest my path and art acquainted with all my ways.  For there is not a word on my tongue, but lo, O Lord, though knowest it altogether.  Though hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me, I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Marvelous are they works and that my soul knowest full right well.  My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them.  I accept your design and purpose for my life; I accept how you made me.  With humbleness I accept your love for me.  To you O Lord my soul is priceless.  I know you loved me so much that you gave your only begotten Son for me that I could have eternal life.  With hope I use my faith to receive Gods love for me.

(1 Peter 2:9)  I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people.  That I show forth the praises of him who hath called me out of darkness into his marvelous light.  I refuse to compare myself with others.   I realize that comparing myself with others is the epitome of thinking of self.  I renounce this sin from my life.  I will see myself as God sees me.  Holy Spirit I thank you for your ministry in my life and I ask you to convict me anytime I compare myself with another.  I ask you to help me to forsake myself so I can wholly love God.  I am crucified with Christ.  I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  I know what matters most to God is the quality and character of the hidden man of my heart.  (1 Samuel 16:7)  For man looketh on the outward appearance but the Lord looketh on the heart.  (1 Peter 3:4-5)  But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.
