God is my shield | considering the word

Give me understanding according to Your Word, as I cry out to You, O Lord. Let my supplication come before You; deliver me according to Your Word.

I am grateful that I know You and I know Your Son. I know the One who has gathered the wind in His fists. I praise You. I know the One who has bound the waters. I honor You. I know the One who established the ends of the earth. I glorify You.

Every one of Your words are pure. I magnify You. Thank You for being a shield for those who trust in You. You are faithful and good.

Let me never deny You or profane Your holy name. Keep greed far from me. Keep strife from me, as well. Let Your Word be ever hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You or distract others from Your glory. You are a mighty God!

Thank You for every blessing You have given me. Surely You provide my daily bread, and meet my every need. You are a mighty Provider, Lord!

I love you with all my heart,

Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.

I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people.

Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, Lord. The entirety of Your Word is truth! Keep jealousy far from me. Let my heart reveal a woman of God; a woman who trusts in His Word. With You, Lord, I can persevere. With You, I can find the patience to endure. For I know that, according to You Word, You are fighting for me! Thank You, Lord!

Lord, I will not trust in only what my eyes can see, or even what I feel, but in You. I will have faith that You will do what You say You will do, for Your Word tells me that it is impossible for You to lie. With You, Lord, I can run and not grow weary. I can walk and not grow faint. Thank You for renewing my strength even as I am praying.

Thank You for Your faithfulness, My God!

I pray this in Jesus’ holy and spotless name, Amen.
