Prayer...........

Do you ever have one of "those" days?  That's the kind of day I had today.  Nothing really went wrong, I just felt blah.  I woke up not feeling all that great, then it rained all day which didn't help my mood any.  I was caught up in all kinds of "feelings."  I had a battle going on in my mind and all I wanted to do was crawl in bed and go to sleep......but the sheets were in the dryer.  I decided to take a peek at my e-mail and mentally check out for a while.  The following prayer was in my inbox.  It came at the perfect time and says exactly what I needed to hear...............

Prayer of Help, Protection, and Deliverance

Lord, I thank you that You are a Warrior, and You never know defeat; You are a Conqueror and every enemy is under Your feet; You are a Deliverer and every foe will sound retreat.

I thank You, O God, that you preserve me. I take refuge in You and I am safe from every cloud of darkness, from every voice of condemnation, from every thought of defeat and despair. I put my trust and confidence in You alone. I lean on You, for You will not falter or faint. You are my support and keep me from falling. You are my high tower and keep me from fleeing. You are my confidence and keep me from fearing.

Thank You, God, for being with me, beside me, behind me, and before me. You are always at my right hand and keep me secure. What joy it brings to know that when I call to You, You answer me. You are my perfect refuge from every storm and battle.

Thank You for being my sure place, and for providing me with the safe place under the shadow of Your wings. Lord, arise and rescue me from all evil, from every lie, and from every bondage. I stand upon You as my rock, I abide in You as my fortress. You are my covering. You are my shield. Thank You for saving me and for rescuing me from my enemies. You always hear my cry for help.

Scriptures: Psalm 16, 17, 18

I'm so glad I know a God that cares for me and meets my every need.  He always speaks to me, even when I don't have my listening ears on!

I pray that you have a restful evening.  I know I will NOW!
