Lord, My Shield

But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
Psalms 3:3 NASB1995

Down in the dumps?
Nothing going right?
Frustrated with the day to day struggles of survival?
“Does anything ever go right for me”?

You’ve been there, haven’t you?
Where do you go from that point?

I have to go to the Lord. For He alone is a shield around me. He is my glory. He is the One who lifts my head. He is my confidence to push forward.

๐Ÿ™Lord God, I pray for the one who is struggling in their life circumstances today. The one who is facing difficult decisions. Tough roads. Feeling of loss. No direction. Put Your shield of protection around them. Lift their head high in assurance as they lean on You to guide them.
In the name of Jesus and for Your glory I pray, amen.

๐ŸŒนDo not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.โ€™

Struggling in Prayer

Many people struggle with being a “good” prayer warrior. We feel that we need to carry the conversation instead of being still. We strive to say the right words, many times throwing out those “religious” words or quoting scripture. God already knows the scripture, after all He wrote them. He already knows what we are going to say before we pray.

Do we put too much emphasis on the “what we pray” instead of Who we are praying to? Sometimes just being in His presence is enough. God just wants our attention, our devotion, our focus, not because He needs it but because we need it. God already knows the outcome of all His Creation. Prayer just opens our eyes to see results and participate in what He is accomplishing. Our focus is Him. Prayer opens our eyes to see what He is doing.

๐ŸŒนโ€œCease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.โ€
