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.
