I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
LIFE IS FRAGILE . . . HANDLE WITH PRAYER
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
May this prayer reinforce deep in your heart the comforting truth that God is your Shepherd.
Lord, You are everything to me. You protect me, guide me, and heal me. Under your care, my life is at its best. You provide all my needs and bring peace to my soul. With You, I flourish. For Your own glory, you lead me on paths that lead to life. I will never regret following You. Lord, even when those paths wind through stressful and painful situations, I know that I don’t walk through them alone. For even there You are beside me, taking me by the hand and guiding me. All that would seek to harm me must contend with You. Lord, you have brought me into an intimate relationship with you, giving me a seat at Your table. You give me everything I need and more. God, you do not withhold good from me. Your goodness is not given to me reluctantly. Rather, your mercy and goodness pursue me. And because of Your mercy, seen supremely in the giving of Your Son Jesus Christ, I know that I will enjoy a full, unending life with you on a new earth that is free of danger and full of pastures. In Jesus Name, Amen

Psalm 91
1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
Amen to this Beautiful, Power-Filled Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
Joining you in Thanksgiving, Prayer, and Praise.
