Psa 91:4 He will cover you with His feathers; you will take refuge under His wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield.
Oh Lord you are the Faithful One.
With lies they were elected and now they are faithless and seek to devour your people. Oh Lord, how long will the wicked prosper? Even now, make a way of escape for your people in this nation who are grieved to the heart at the evil that is planned. Fill those with your Spirit who hunger and thirst after righteousness. Help our thoughts to be fixed on you.
I can't help but be surprised at the greediness they show and the hunger they have for wickedness. Yet let me think of whatever is good and I will be satisfied when I think of You all day.
Phi 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
Phi 4:5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;
Phi 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Phi 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phi 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Let us be hidden in Jesus.
Amen.
"To be specific, the self-sins are self-righteousness, self-pity, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, self-admiration, self-love and a host of others like them. They dwell too deep within us and are too much a part of our natures to come to our attention till the light of God is focused upon them."
from Chapter 3, The Pursuit of God, A W Tozer
Oh Lord, as I draw near, I know that there is within me every kind of undesirable thing that wants to exalt itself against the knowledge of You. Please help me, sanctify me and bring me into your peace. Wash me with the water of your Word, and let me grow up into Christ, into the full stature of Him. Truly change me oh God of my life and let me live in your presence.
"Lord, how excellent are Thy ways, and how devious and dark are the ways of man. Show us how to die, that we may rise again to newness of life. Rend the veil of our self-life from the top down as Thou didst rend the veil of the Temple. We would draw near in full assurance of faith. We would dwell with Thee in daily experience here on this earth so that we may be accustomed to the glory when we enter Thy heaven to dwell with Thee there. In Jesus' name, Amen."
