Bedtime Sleep Prayer | This Will Bless Your Spirit

have you ever told someone that you'd meet them somewhere but somehow the two of you weren't clear about an exact time or an exact spot frustrating right especially if you're somewhere and your phone doesn't have a signal or one of your phones has died think of how anxious you might be wondering if they're at the right place but on the opposite side or are they even there at all maybe you two got confused or somehow misunderstood one another exactly what should you do should you stay there or just leave who knows if they're even going to show up you actually have other things you could be doing with your time right maybe you're short on time and short on patience just how long should you sit there now let's put a name to this unknown person what if the missing individual in this scenario is god are you willing to wait do you devise another plan or do you just forget about it because obviously if this thing were going to come to pass it would have by now right or would it what if he's actually in the right place and he's waiting on you to arrive or what if you are in the right place but the timing is off can you wait for him huh can you be still can you wait patiently can you trust him to show up can you trust that his promise will manifest do you believe that if you manage to wait it'll be worth every moment well i do and i believe that if you look back over your life you'll see that every time a promise manifested though the wait wasn't easy it was well worth it as mark 7 37 says he does all things well now let us pray father in the name of jesus i come to you right now giving you honor and glory and praise there is no god like you in all the earth i come to you today with a spirit of gratitude and praise lord i come acknowledging that you are alpha and omega the beginning and the end lord i thank you right now for this day and i thank you for everything that you have ordained for this day i thank you that nothing shall come against me that has not first come past you and i thank you because i know that you are in control lord you know my story from the front cover to the back and you know everything in between god it is in the light of that truth that i come to you now with an humble spirit and a heart that wants to please you and right now father i come asking you to help me lord help me to be still i've read in your word that it is your will for us to be still and to know that you are god and so father right now i come asking that holy spirit would help me to access the grace that is on my life to simply be still god in those moments when i feel like it's taking too long and in those moments when i get anxious or feel like there is something that i can do in my own human strength i ask that you would have your holy spirit to speak a word that settles me a word that reminds me of who you are i know that you are god and i know that you are good i know that you are in control and i trust you but god i know i can be honest with you there are still some areas that i need to surrender to you in those times when i struggle it reminds me of mark 9 verses 23 and 24 where jesus said to the man whose son was vexed with a spirit if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes and immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears lord i believe help my unbelief so now lord i'm crying out to you lord i trust you please help me in the areas where i lack trust help me in those areas where despite what my mouth says my actions prove that i don't trust you like i should help me to rest in psalm 46 verse 10 where it says be still and know that i am god i will be exalted among the nations i will be exalted in the earth god help me to exalt you lord i myself want to exalt you above everything in my life i speak the word of god over my life that says in 2 corinthians 10 verse 5 that i should cast down imaginations and every high thing that tries to exalt itself against the knowledge of god and i bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of christ i declare that you are lord over all when satan brings situations before me and he tries to make them big when he comes with sickness or he comes with bills when he throws up my children's ungodly behavior in my face or when he reminds me of how unloving my spouse has been or how bad things have been at work lord in those times i will open my mouth and i will glorify you i will exalt you above every one of those things because i refuse to allow any of those things to exalt themselves above who i know you to be in the earth and who i know you to be in my life and despite what the enemy says i will do what psalm 37 verse 7 says and it reads be still before the lord and wait patiently for him fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way over the man who carries out evil devices god i will wait patiently for you to manifest in my situation i already know that it's in your hands but i'll wait patiently until i can see your hand at work lord nobody has been as patient with me as you have you know all my quirks you know my tendencies and yet you have waited on me so lord now i will wait on you i will wait because i know that in all actuality it is the reverse i know you're waiting on me if there's something that you have not brought to pass i know that it's not because you're slack because 2 peter 3 verse 9 says the lord is not slack concerning his promise as some man counts slackness yes there is a waiting period but it's you waiting on me you're waiting on me to come into maturity waiting on me to get the revelation you've been trying to show me waiting on me to position myself you're waiting on my mind to change so that when you put me in the position i can keep it when you give me the new job i can excel at it when you give me that spot in ministry i'll stay humble when you give me that thing i've been waiting for i'll be in a mindset to give you all the glory there are so many things we can get but once we get them can we keep them so you've been waiting patiently waiting because it's not your desire for me to just get what you have for me but you want me to be positioned to keep what you have for me and so lord in this waiting time help me to wait patiently lord i've seen in your word what happens when people aren't willing to wait i see what happens when we as humans begin to feel that we can bring things to pass because it seems like you're taking too long because abram and sarai couldn't seem to bear a child they wanted to help bring to pass what you had promised and in their own human attempts sarai told abram to take hagar her maidservant so that she could bear him a son and he did but oh what a mess they made rebecca saw something special on jacob but she tried to help him achieve greatness through trickery and the mess it made took years to try to correct god you have your own timing and you have your own way and lord i don't want to birth a substitute lord i don't want to try to get ahead of you help me to wait patiently for you and god in those times when i don't know what to do and it seems like i'm in a panic when i seem surrounded by so much uncertainty help me to put my mind on you the one who has never moved by any circumstance the one who is never moved by any situation the one who knows the end from the beginning help me keep my eyes on you and help me keep my trust in you lord help me put my focus back on you because god when i put my focus back on you all things are put in perspective that's when all things are put in their place and so lord help me submit to your will your plans and your timing because father i know that you know best lord still my heart when my mind is racing and everything around me seems to be out of control help me to just breathe through it help me to move my focus away from things on the earth and help me to fix my focus on you because i've known it to work over and over again in times when things on the earth began to overwhelm me i would close my eyes and just focus on you i focus on you and the great big god that you are how you frame the universe and spoke the world into existence and it reminds me that you are in charge and you always have been you know what you're doing so god i relinquish everything into your hands i resign as the ceo of my life i give that position over to you because i know you know exactly what you're doing exodus 14 14 says the lord will fight for you you need only to be still so lord in the words of the song that i find so much comfort in i ask you teach me to be still teach me to lay down i give up all my strength and lay my armor on the ground show me how to rest on the altar of your will i know that you are god but teach me to be still please lord teach me to be still it is in the mighty matchless name of jesus that i pray amen and amen grace to me is being gifted with something that you cannot earn or pay for grace is god giving us what we do not deserve and i wonder how many of us really understand the magnitude and wonder of god's grace his amazing grace the grace of the lord is something we should never take for granted and so beloved personally i think of his grace over my life his goodness and mercy all of which are totally undeserved but he still freely gives all i can say is thank you lord jesus christ it's by his grace that i am here today it's by the grace of jesus christ that i am in good health i haven't done anything to deserve it i've done nothing to be worthy of such favor but in his mercy in his love and by his grace i have strength in my body i have breath in my lungs it's by god's grace that i am filled with joy and hope it's by god's grace that i have peace in my heart i am grateful to the lord because if it had not been for his grace and mercy things could so easily have been tragic for me things could have so easily gone horribly wrong but in his goodness he made my crooked places straight he made a way for me when my back was against the wall i am amazed by the grace of god as i look back over my life as i look at some of the bad decisions i made some of the mistakes i made god held me and he kept me it's by his grace that nothing destroyed me it can only be his goodness that kept me from losing my mind so allow me at this moment to just praise him equally as you listen can you honestly look back at your life and not praise him look at where he brought you from look at how many times he saved you look at all the times he forgave you we need to thank him and appreciate his goodness we all have a story we all have a past yet we all have been given amazing grace i believe that his grace should also be the reason we have boldness to proclaim the gospel to the world the bible says in second timothy 1 verse 8 to 9 therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our lord nor of me his prisoner but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of god who saved us and called us to a holy calling not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace which he gave us in christ jesus before the ages began let us pray my dearest savior and lord the king of kings the lord of lords jesus christ i thank you for your grace your amazing grace that has been so good to me your grace and love is what has kept me your grace toward me is unmerited i do not deserve it but yes you gave it to me you gave it to me in abundance and i thank you lord there is nothing that i could possibly do or offer to earn your love and favor but father you have been so kind to me you have been ever so faithful nonetheless your word says my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness thank you lord jesus because of your grace i lack for nothing because even when i am weak i am strong in you lord i stand on your word and hebrews 4 verse 16 a verse that says let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need may your grace and mercy continue to surround me and lead me it's by your grace lord that i am blessed when i come in and blessed when i go out so i ask that you may stand with me and stand by my side lead me to walk with discernment and diligence in this world lead me to walk by faith and not by sight holy spirit please encircle me comfort me and hold me safe and secure in your arms help me to be bold if you are on my side then i can declare that i will not be crushed by fear and anxiety if you are with me then i can declare peace in my heart and mind i look to you as the rock of my life my fortress my strong tower and my strength when i am weak you are a sovereign god who has charge over my life and you are a god who is faithful to deliver those who trust you your word says a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you i believe this i believe that nothing no evil no darkness shall come near me because of you because of your amazing grace so i look to you a mighty god who moves mountains a god who breaks down every barrier a god who can crush the devil and remove every obstacle in my life i have the confidence that if i remain in your presence you will help me to let go of all my worries and stress help me to let go of everything i cannot control i may be limited but you are not you are a god who is in control i believe in your word which says and my god will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in christ jesus i stand on your word that says surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and i will dwell in the house of the lord forever thank you for the promises in your word promises that fill me with hope and remind me of your love the more i read your word the more my faith grows the more confidence i have the more strength i have to press forward [Music] isaiah 40 verse 31 says those who wait on the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint i pray that you renew my strength lord renew my faith and believe so that i might face today in the authority of your word you are all-powerful lord jesus and you are a god who will never leave us nor forsake us you are holy and worthy to be praised thank you for listening to my prayer in jesus name i pray amen lord jesus only you can secure my future only you hold my tomorrow i speak the covering of the blood of jesus upon each and every believer who is listening i pray that faith reigns in our lives instead of fear i pray that joy is in our minds instead of sadness i pray that peace reigns in our hearts and minds instead of worry and anxiety lord jesus at this time let your power fall in our lives as we call the name above all names i pray that every feeling of doubt is destroyed every feeling of fear is thrown away and every anxiety is no more hear our prayer i thank you for the battles that you fight for me those seen and unseen father i ask for divine protection i ask divine intervention you know my struggles lord you know what i'm fighting against and so i call for your help i cannot do this alone the bible says in psalm 32 verse 7 you are my hiding place you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance this world can never take away the authority given to me in your word your word which says in the book of luke i have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy nothing will harm you i thank you king jesus for this authority you've given me to overcome all the power of the enemy i stand in strong belief i stand and decree i stand and declare that nothing will harm me nothing will harm my loved ones or my family my circle in jesus name the devil has no authority over my home he has no say over my future or my family he has no power over my health i trust in you jehovah i say that you are my refuge you are the chief cornerstone and i choose to trust in the true and living god you provide me with shelter from life's storms from life's difficulties lord you have said you will not allow sickness and disease to come near me i therefore declare that sickness and disease are far from me i pray that you protect me and my family from everything we cannot see that tries to harm us no demon from hell no unclean spirit no generational curses no misfortune will touch me or my loved ones i set my eyes and my affections on heaven i look to you the author and perfecter of my faith your word says that you will keep me in perfect peace when my mind is stayed on you i plead the blood of jesus over my life and over everything in my life today i submit all that may trouble me into your hands all my cares and burdens are in your hands this is another day oh lord i don't know what it will bring i don't know what it

psalm 32 verse 6 and 7 for this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to you in a time when you may be found surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him you are my hiding place you shall preserve me from trouble you shall surround me with songs of deliverance psalm 46 verse 1 to 3 god is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble therefore we will not fear even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea though its waters roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with its swelling psalm 18 verse 1 to 3 i will love you o lord my strength the lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer my god my strength in whom i will trust my shield and the horn of my salvation my stronghold i will call upon the lord who is worthy to be praised so shall i be saved from my enemies psalm 119 verse 10 to 16 with my whole heart i have sought you oh let me not wander from your commandments your word i have hidden in my heart that i might not sin against you blessed are you o lord teach me your statutes with my lips i have declared all the judgments of your mouth i have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies as much as in all riches i will meditate on your precepts and contemplate your ways i will delight myself in your statutes i will not forget your word psalm 59 verse 16 to 17. but i will sing of your power yes i will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning for you have been my defense and my refuge in the day of my trouble to you o my strength i will sing praise for god is my defense my god of mercy psalm 3 verse 3 to 4 [Music] 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 psalm 34 verse 1 to 4 i will bless the lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth my soul shall make its boast in the lord the humble shall hear it and be glad o magnify the lord with me and let us exalt his name together i sought the lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears psalm 16 verse 1 to 3 preserve me o god for in you i put my trust o my soul you have said to the lord you are my lord my goodness is nothing apart from you as for the saints who are on the earth they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight luke chapter 8 verses 43 to 44 say and there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for 12 years and though she had spent all her living on physicians she could not be healed by anyone she came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment and immediately her discharge of blood ceased now i have a question if the woman with the issue of blood hadn't suffered for so long would she have known that jesus is a healer genesis 37 verses 23 to 24 say so when joseph came to his brothers they stripped him of his robe the robe of many colors that he wore and they took him and threw him into a pit the pit was empty there was no water in it later on in the bible genesis chapter 42 verse 6 says now joseph was governor over the land he was the one who sold to all the people of the land and joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground so if joseph wasn't rejected by his brothers if he wasn't stripped and thrown into a pit if he wasn't sold as a slave would joseph have ever known that god can take someone who was rejected by his own family members and favored that person so much so that he could become one of the most powerful men in the land at that time if job had not lost everything if he hadn't lost his sons and daughters if he hadn't lost his ox and his donkeys his sheep and his wealth if he had not lost his health even then would job have ever known that god can restore double what the enemy stole if daniel wasn't thrown in a lion's den would he have ever known that god's protection is far better far superior than anything else in this world paul and silas if they were never arrested and placed in chains tell me how could they have known that god's power can set anyone free from any type of bondage all throughout the bible there are people who have been through tough and painful situations but those tough and painful situations all offered an opportunity for god to demonstrate that he is the ultimate healer he is the most superior form of protection he is the one who can restore and make a garden from a desert he is the only one who can favor someone who's been rejected and lift them up so that they can dine on a table in the presence of their enemies [Music] saints believe in god there is a reason for the season you're in right now let us pray king jesus the almighty one teach me to be more trusting help me to build my faith may the holy ghost teach me and remind me that the troubles i face the pain that i feel the people who reject me can all be a blessing in disguise the tough situations and trials i go through can be the lord setting me up you could be positioning me for increase for healing for breakthrough holy spirit help me to see that the lord sometimes uses our troubles to remind us that he is a deliverer he is our savior he is our hope and rescue he is the chief cornerstone and the solution to all of our problems father even though it may hurt when trouble comes about please give me the grace to keep an eternal perspective second corinthians 4 verse 17 says for this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison so lord help me to have an attitude that remains positive and hopeful in you lord jesus because the troubles i face no matter how difficult or how overbearing they may seem at the time they are in fact light because they are only there for a short while and they pale in comparison to the joy that awaits me in heaven lord you are faithful to empower you are faithful to help me stand strong and victorious and not to be defeated and because jesus is victorious over satan i too can walk in victory so i declare that through the grace of god i have the faith to stand against satan's attacks and i will win i am not defeated by my troubles in jesus name i am not oppressed by my afflictions in jesus name as long as i hold on to you lord jesus i will live and enjoy a victorious life i will know you as a healer i will know you as the one who can restore double what the enemy stole i will know you as my shield and my protector enlighten my spirit father and help me to see through the eyes of faith help me lord so that the eyes of my faith may lead me to walk in your will [Music] father i believe that the battle has already been won because in you i have peace though in this world i may have tribulation i will take heart i will be of good cheer because you have overcome the world lord your word says in second chronicles chapter 20 verse 17 you will not need to fight in this battle stand firm hold your position and see the salvation of the lord on your behalf o judah and jerusalem do not be afraid and do not be dismayed tomorrow go out against them and the lord will be with you i speak this word over my life i do not need to fight my own battles because the lord will fight for me and i will hold my peace i will stand firm and i will stand in faith in the faith that i am assured of nothing less than victory i will continue to stand in the faith that i am an overcomer through christ who strengthens me your word says do not be afraid and do not be dismayed tomorrow go out against them and the lord will be with you be with me lord because i will face my battles and i'll face them with the knowledge that you are with me lord jesus with you by my side with you at the center of my heart how can i be defeated by the troubles of this world how can i be defeated by the schemes of the enemy how can i be beaten when your word says in romans 8 verses 37 to 39 no and all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us for i am sure that neither death nor life nor angels nor rulers nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of god in christ jesus our lord god i thank you for the victory i thank you for everlasting peace i thank you for an abundance of blessings and above all god i thank you for showing me mercy in jesus name i pray amen and amen have you ever told someone that you'd meet them somewhere but somehow the two of you weren't clear about an exact time or an exact spot frustrating right especially if you're somewhere and your phone doesn't have a signal or one of your phones has died think of how anxious you might be wondering if they're at the right place but on the opposite

and i believe that if you look back over your life you'll see that every time a promise manifested though the wait wasn't easy it was well worth it as mark 7 37 says he does all things well [Music] now let us pray father in the name of jesus i come to you right now giving you honor and glory and praise there is no god like you in all the earth i come to you today with a spirit of gratitude and

you frame the universe and spoke the world into existence and it reminds me that you are in charge and you always have been you know what you're doing so god i relinquish everything into your hands i resign as the ceo of my life i give that position over to you because i know you know exactly what you're doing exodus 14 14 says the lord will fight for you you need only to be still so lord in the

will i know that you are god but teach me to be still please lord teach me to be still it is in the mighty matchless name of jesus that i pray amen and amen grace to me is being gifted with something that you cannot earn or pay for grace is god giving us what we do not deserve and i wonder how many of us really understand the magnitude and wonder of god's grace his amazing grace the grace of the lord is something we should never take for granted and so beloved personally i think of his grace over my life his goodness and mercy all of which are totally undeserved but he still freely gives all i can say is thank you lord jesus christ it's by his grace that i am here today it's by the grace of jesus christ that i am in good health i haven't done anything to deserve it i've done nothing to be worthy of such favor but in his mercy in his love and by his grace i have strength in my body i have breath in my lungs it's by god's grace that i am filled with joy and hope it's by god's grace that i have peace in my heart i am grateful to the lord because if it had not been for his grace and mercy things could so easily have been tragic for me things could have so easily gone horribly wrong but in his goodness he made my crooked places straight he made a way for me when my back was against the wall i am amazed by the grace of god as i look back over my life as i look at some of the bad decisions i made some of the mistakes i made god held me and he kept me it's by his grace that nothing destroyed me it can only be his goodness that kept me from losing my mind so allow me at this moment to just praise him equally as you listen can you honestly look back at your life and not praise him look at where he brought you from look at how many times he saved you look at all the times he forgave you we need to thank him and appreciate his goodness we all have a story we all have a past yet we all have been given amazing grace i believe that his grace should also be the reason we have boldness to proclaim the gospel to the world the bible says in second timothy 1 verse 8 to 9 therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our lord nor of me his prisoner but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of god who saved us and called us to a holy calling not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace which he gave us in christ jesus before the ages began let us pray my dearest savior and lord the king of kings the lord of lords jesus christ i thank you for your grace your amazing grace that has been so good to me your grace and love is what

psalm 32 verse 6 and 7 for this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to you in a time when you may be found surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him you are my hiding place you shall preserve me from trouble you shall surround me with songs of deliverance psalm 46 verse 1 to 3 god is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble therefore we will not fear even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea though its waters roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with its swelling psalm 18 verse 1 to 3 i will love you o lord my strength the lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer my god my strength in whom i will trust my shield and the horn of my salvation my stronghold i will call upon the lord who is worthy to be praised so shall i be saved from my enemies psalm 119 verse 10 to 16 with my whole heart i have sought you oh let me not wander from your commandments your word i have hidden in my heart that i might not sin against you blessed are you o lord teach me your statutes with my lips i have declared all the judgments of your mouth i have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies as much as in all riches i will meditate on your precepts and contemplate your ways i will delight myself in your statutes i will not forget your word psalm 59 verse 16 to 17 but i will sing of your power yes i will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning for you have been my defense and my refuge in the day of my trouble to you o my strength i will sing praise for god is my defense my god of mercy psalm 3 verse 3 to 4 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 psalm 34 verse 1 to 4 i

lord my goodness is nothing apart from you as for the saints who are on the earth they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight luke chapter 8 verses 43 to 44 say and there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for 12 years and though she had spent all her living on physicians she could not be healed by anyone she came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment and immediately her discharge of blood ceased now i have a question if the woman with the issue of blood hadn't suffered for so long would she have known that jesus is a healer genesis 37 verses 23 to 24 say so when joseph came to his brothers they stripped him of his robe the robe of many colors that he wore and they took him and threw him into a pit the pit was empty there was no water in it later on in the bible genesis chapter 42 verse 6 says now joseph was governor over the land he was the one who sold to all the people of the land and joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground so if joseph wasn't rejected by his brothers if he wasn't stripped and thrown into a pit if he wasn't sold as a slave would joseph have ever known that god can take someone who was rejected by his own family members and favored that person so much so that he could become one of the most powerful men in the land at that time if job had not lost everything if he hadn't lost his sons and daughters if he hadn't lost his ox and his donkeys his sheep and his wealth if he had not lost his health even then would job have ever known that god can restore double what the enemy stole [Music] if daniel wasn't thrown in a lion's den would he have ever known that god's protection is far better far superior than anything else in this world paul and silas if they were never arrested and placed in chains tell me how could they have known that god's power can set anyone free from any type of bondage [Music] all throughout the bible there are people who have been through tough and painful situations but those tough and painful situations all offered an opportunity for god to demonstrate that he is the ultimate healer he is the most superior form of protection he is the one who can restore and make a garden from a desert he is the only one who can favor someone who's been rejected and lift them up so that they can dine on a table in the presence of their enemies saints believe in god there is a reason for the season you're in right now let us pray king jesus the almighty one teach me to be more trusting help me to build my faith may the holy ghost teach me and remind me that the troubles i face the pain that i feel the people who reject me can all be a blessing in disguise the tough situations and trials i go through can be the lord setting me up you could be positioning me for increase for healing for breakthrough holy spirit help me to see that the lord sometimes uses our troubles to remind us that he is a deliverer he is our savior he is our hope and rescue he is the chief cornerstone and the solution to all of our problems father even though it may hurt when trouble comes about please give me the grace to keep an eternal perspective second corinthians 4 verse 17 says for this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison so lord help me to have an attitude that remains positive and hopeful in you lord jesus because the troubles i face no matter how difficult or how overbearing they may seem at the time they are in fact light because they are only there for a short while and they pale in comparison to the joy that awaits me in heaven lord you are faithful to empower you are faithful to help me stand strong and victorious and not to be defeated and because jesus is victorious over satan i too can walk in victory so i declare that through the grace of god i have the faith to stand against satan's attacks and i will win i am not defeated by my troubles in jesus name i am not oppressed by my afflictions in jesus name as long as i hold on to you lord jesus i will live and enjoy a victorious life i will know you as a healer i will know you as the one who can restore double what the enemy stole i will know you as my shield and my protector enlighten my spirit father and help me to see through the eyes of faith help me lord so that the eyes of my faith may lead me to walk in your will father i believe that the battle has already been won because in you i have peace though in this world i may have tribulation i will take heart i will be of good cheer because you have overcome the world [Music] lord your word says in second chronicles chapter 20 verse 17 you will not need to fight in this battle stand firm hold your position and see the salvation of the lord on your behalf o judah and jerusalem do not be afraid and do not be dismayed tomorrow go out against them and the lord will be with you i speak this word over my life i do not need to fight my own battles because the lord will fight for me and i will hold my peace i will stand firm and i will stand in faith in the faith that i am assured of nothing less than victory i will continue to stand in the faith that i am an overcomer through christ who strengthens me your word says do not be afraid and do not be dismayed tomorrow go out against them and the lord will be with you be with me lord because i will face my battles and i'll face them with the knowledge that you are with me lord jesus with you by my side with you at the center of my heart how can i be defeated by the troubles of this world how can i be defeated by the schemes of the enemy how can i be beaten when your word says in romans 8 verses 37 to 39 no and all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us for i am sure that neither death nor life nor angels nor rulers nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of god in christ jesus our lord god i thank you for the victory i thank you for everlasting peace i thank you for an abundance of blessings and above all god i thank you for showing me mercy in jesus name i pray amen and amen have you ever told someone that you'd meet them somewhere but somehow the two of you weren't clear about an exact time or an exact spot frustrating right especially if you're somewhere and your phone doesn't have a signal or one of your phones has died think of how anxious you might be wondering if they're at the right place but on the opposite side or are they even there at all maybe you two got confused or somehow misunderstood one another exactly what should you do should you stay there or just leave who knows if they're even going to show up you actually have other things you could be doing with your time right maybe you're short on time and short on patience just how long should you sit there now let's put a name to this unknown person what if the missing individual in the scenario is god are you willing to wait do you devise another plan or do you just forget about it because obviously if this thing were going to come to pass it would have by now right or would it what if he's actually in the right place and he's waiting on you to arrive or what if you are in the right place but the timing is off can you wait for him huh can you be still can you wait patiently can you trust him to show up can you trust that his promise will manifest do you believe that if you manage to wait it'll be worth every moment well i do and i believe that if you look back over your life you'll see that every time a promise manifested though the wait wasn't easy it was well worth it as mark 7 37 says he does all things well now let us pray father in the name of jesus i come to you right now giving you honor and glory and praise there is no god like you in all the earth i come to you today with a spirit of gratitude and praise lord i come acknowledging that you are alpha and omega the beginning and the end lord i thank you right now for this day and i thank you for everything that you have ordained for this day i thank you that nothing shall come against me that has not first come past you and i thank you because i know that you are in control lord you know my story from the front cover to the back and you know everything in between god it is in the light of that truth that i come to you now with an humble spirit and a heart that wants to please you and right now father i come asking you to help me lord help me to be still i've read in your word that it is your will for us to be still and to know that you are god and so father right now i come asking that holy spirit would help me to access the grace that is on my life to simply be still god in those moments when i feel like it's taking too long and in those moments when i get anxious or feel like there is something that i can do in my own human strength i ask that you would have your holy spirit to speak a word that settles me a word that reminds me of who you are i know that you are god and i know that you are good i know that you are in control and i trust you but god i know i can be honest with you there are still some areas that i need to surrender to you in those times when i struggle it reminds me of mark 9 verses 23 and 24 where jesus said to the man whose son was vexed with a spirit if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes and immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears lord i believe help my unbelief so now lord i'm crying out to you lord i trust you please help me in the areas where i lack trust help me in those areas where despite what my mouth says my actions prove that i don't trust you like i should help me to rest in psalm 46 verse 10 where it says be still and know that i am god i will be exalted among the nations i will be exalted in the earth god help me to exalt you lord i myself want to exalt you above everything in my life i speak the word of god over my life that says in second corinthians 10 verse 5 that i should cast down imaginations and every high thing that tries to exalt itself against the knowledge of god and i bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of christ i declare that you are lord overall when satan brings situations before me and he tries to make them big when he comes with sickness or he comes with bills when he throws up my children's ungodly behavior in my face or when he reminds me of how unloving my spouse has been or how bad things have been at work lord in those times i will open my mouth and i will glorify you i will exalt you above every one of those things because i refuse to allow any of those things to exalt themselves above who i know you to be in the earth and who i know you to be in my life and despite what the enemy says i will do what psalm 37 verse 7 says and it reads be still before the lord and wait patiently for him fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way over the man who carries out evil devices god i will wait patiently for you to manifest in my situation i already know that it's in your hands but i'll wait patiently until i can see your hand at work lord nobody has been as patient with me as you have you know all my quirks you know my tendencies and yet you have waited on me so lord now i will wait on you i will wait because i know that in all actuality it is the reverse i know you're waiting on me if there's something that you have not brought to pass i know that it's not because you're slack because 2 peter 3 verse 9 says the lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness yes there is a waiting period but it's you waiting on me you're waiting on me to come into maturity waiting on me to get the revelation you've been trying to show me waiting on me to position myself you're waiting on my mind to change so that when you put me in the position i can keep it when you give me the new job i can excel at it when you give me that spot in ministry i'll stay humble when you give me that thing i've been waiting for i'll be in a mindset to give you all the glory there are so many things we can get but once we get them can we keep them so you've been waiting patiently waiting because it's not your desire for me to just get what you have for me but you want me to be positioned to keep what you have for me and so lord in this waiting time help me to wait patiently lord i've seen in your word what happens when people aren't willing to wait i see what happens when we as humans begin to feel that we can bring things to pass because it seems like you're taking too long because abram and sarai couldn't seem to bear a child they wanted to help bring to pass what you had promised and in their own human attempts sarai told abram to take hagar her maidservant so that she could bear him a son and he did but oh what a mess they made rebecca saw something special on jacob but she tried to help him achieve greatness through trickery and the mess it made took years to try to correct god you have your own timing and you have your own way and lord i don't want to birth a substitute lord i don't want to try to get ahead of you help me to wait patiently for you and god in those times when i don't know what to do and it seems like i'm in a panic when i seem surrounded by so much uncertainty help me to put my mind on you the one who is never moved by any circumstance the one who is never moved by any situation the one who knows the end from the beginning help me keep my eyes on you and help me keep my trust in you lord help me put my focus back on you because god when i put my focus back on you all things are put in perspective that's when all things are put in their place and so lord help me submit to your will your plans and your timing because father i know that you know best lord still my heart when my mind is racing and everything around me seems to be out of control help me to just breathe through it help me to move my focus away from things on the earth and help me to fix my focus on you because i've known it to work over and over again in times when things on the earth began to overwhelm me i would close my eyes and just focus on you i focus on you and the great big god that you are how you frame the universe and spoke the world into existence and it reminds me that you are in charge and you always have been you know what you're doing so god i relinquish everything into your hands i resign as the ceo of my life i give that position over to you because i know you know exactly what you're doing exodus 14 14 says the lord will fight for you you need only to be still so lord in the words of the song that i find so much comfort in i ask you teach me to be still teach me to lay down i give up all my strength and lay my armor on the ground show me how to rest on the altar of your will i know that you are god but teach me to be still please lord teach me to be still it is in the mighty matchless name of jesus that i pray amen and amen grace to me is being gifted with something that you cannot earn or pay for grace is god giving us what we do not deserve and i wonder how many of us really understand the magnitude and wonder of god's grace his amazing grace the grace of the lord is something we should never take for granted and so beloved personally i think of his grace over my life his goodness and mercy all of which are totally undeserved but he still freely gives all

in his goodness he made my crooked places straight he made a way for me when my back was against the wall i am amazed by the grace of god as i look back over my life as i look at some of the bad decisions i made some of the mistakes i made god held me and he kept me [Music] it's by his grace that nothing destroyed me it can only be his goodness that kept me from losing my mind so allow me at this moment to just praise him equally as you listen can you honestly look back at your life and not praise him look at where he brought you from look at how many times he saved you look at all the

psalm 32 verse 6 and 7 for this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to you in a time when you may be found surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him you are my hiding place you shall preserve me from trouble you shall surround me with songs of deliverance [Music] psalm 46 verse 1 to 3 god is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble therefore we will not fear even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea though its waters roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with its swelling psalm 18 verse 1 to 3 i will love you o lord my strength the lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer my god my strength in whom i will trust my shield and the horn of my salvation my stronghold i will call upon the lord who is worthy to be praised so shall i be saved from my enemies psalm 119 verse 10 to 16 with my whole heart i have sought you oh let me not wander from your commandments your word i have hidden in my heart that i might not sin against you blessed are you o lord teach me your statutes with my lips i have declared all the judgments of your mouth i have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies as much as in all riches i will meditate on your precepts and contemplate your ways i will delight myself in your statutes i will not forget your word psalm 59 verse 16 to 17 but i will sing of your power yes i will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning for you have been my defense and my refuge in the day of my trouble to you o my strength i will sing praise for god is my defense

are my lord my goodness is nothing apart from you as for the saints who are on the earth they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight luke chapter 8 verses 43 to 44 say and there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for 12 years and though she had spent all her living on physicians she could not be healed by anyone she came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment and immediately her discharge of blood ceased now i have a question if the woman with the issue of blood hadn't suffered for so long would she have known that jesus is a healer genesis 37 verses 23 to 24 say so when joseph came to his brothers they stripped him of his robe the robe of many colors that he wore and they took him and threw him into a pit the pit was empty there was no water in it later on in the bible genesis chapter 42 verse 6 says now joseph was governor over the land he was the one who sold to all the people of the land and joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground so if joseph wasn't rejected by his brothers if he wasn't stripped and thrown into a pit if he wasn't sold as a slave would joseph have ever known that god can take someone who was rejected by his own family members and favored that person so much so that he could become one of the most powerful men in the land at that time if job had not lost everything if he hadn't lost his sons and daughters if he hadn't lost his ox and his donkeys his sheep and his wealth if he had not lost his health even then would job have ever known that god can restore double what the enemy stole if daniel wasn't thrown in a lion's den would he have ever known that god's protection is far better far superior than anything else in this world paul and silas if they were never arrested and placed in chains tell me how could they have known that god's power can set anyone free from any type of bondage all throughout the bible there are people who have been through tough and painful situations but those tough and painful situations all offered an opportunity for god to demonstrate that he is the ultimate healer he is the most superior form of protection he is the one who can restore and make a garden from a desert he is the only one who can favor someone who's been rejected and lift them up so that they can dine on a table in the presence of their enemies saints believe in god there is a reason for the season you're in right now let us pray king jesus the almighty one teach me to be more trusting help me to build my faith may the holy ghost teach me and remind me that the troubles i face the pain that i feel the people who reject me can all be a blessing in disguise the tough situations and trials i go through can be the lord setting me up you could be positioning me for increase for healing for breakthrough holy spirit help me to see that the lord sometimes uses our troubles to remind us that he is a deliverer he is our savior he is our hope and rescue he is the chief cornerstone and the solution to all of our problems father even though it may hurt when trouble comes about please give me the grace to keep an eternal perspective second corinthians 4 verse 17 says for this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison so lord help me to have an attitude that remains positive and hopeful in you lord jesus because the troubles i face no matter how difficult or how overbearing they may seem at the time they are in fact light because they are only there for a short while and they pale in comparison to the joy that awaits me in heaven lord you are faithful to empower you are faithful to help me stand strong and victorious and not to be defeated and because jesus is victorious over satan i too can walk in victory so i declare that through the grace of god i have the faith to stand against satan's attacks and i will win i am not defeated by my troubles in jesus name i am not oppressed by my afflictions in jesus name as long as i hold on to you lord jesus i will live and enjoy a victorious life i will know you as a healer i will know you as the one who can restore double what the enemy stole i will know you as my shield and my protector enlighten my spirit father and help me to see through the eyes of faith help me lord so that the eyes of my faith may lead me to walk in your will father i believe that the battle has already been won because in you i have peace though in this world i may have tribulation i will take heart i will be of good cheer because you have overcome the world lord your word says in second chronicles chapter 20 verse 17 you will not need to fight in this battle stand firm hold your position and see the salvation of the lord on your behalf o judah and jerusalem do not be afraid and do not be dismayed tomorrow go out against them and the lord will be with you i speak this word over my life i do not need to fight my own battles because the lord will fight for me and i will hold my peace i will stand firm and i will stand in faith in the faith that i am assured of nothing less than victory i will continue to stand in the faith that i am an overcomer through christ who strengthens me your word says do not be afraid and do not be dismayed tomorrow go out against them and the lord will be with you be with me lord because i will face my battles and i'll face them with the knowledge that you are with me lord jesus with you by my side with you at the center of my heart how can i be defeated by the troubles of this world how can i be defeated by the schemes of the enemy how can i be beaten when your word says in romans 8 verses 37 to 39 no and all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us for i am sure that neither death nor life nor angels nor rulers nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of god in christ jesus our lord god i thank you for the victory i thank you for everlasting peace i thank you for an abundance of blessings and above all god i thank you for showing me mercy in jesus name i pray amen and amen have you ever told someone that you'd meet them somewhere but somehow the two of you weren't clear about an exact time or an exact spot frustrating right especially if you're somewhere and your phone doesn't have a signal or one of your phones has died think of how anxious you might be wondering if they're at the right place but on the opposite side or are they even there at all maybe you two got confused or somehow misunderstood one another exactly what should you do should you stay there or just leave who knows if they're even going to show up you actually have other things you could be doing with your time right maybe you're short on time and short on patience just how long should you sit there now let's put a name to this unknown person what if the missing individual in this scenario is god are you willing to wait do you devise another plan or do you just forget about it because obviously if this thing were going to come to pass it would have by now right or would it what if he's actually in the right place and he's waiting on you to arrive or what if you are in the right place but the timing is off can you wait for him huh can you be still can you wait patiently can you trust him to show up can you trust that his promise will manifest do you believe that if you manage to wait it'll be worth every moment well i do and i believe that if you look back over your life you'll see that every time a promise manifested though the wait wasn't easy it was well worth it as mark 7 37 says he does all things well now let us pray father in the name of jesus i come to you right now giving you honor and glory and praise there is no god like you in all the earth i come to you today with a spirit of gratitude and praise lord i come acknowledging that you are alpha and omega the beginning and the end lord i thank you right now for this day and i thank you for everything that you have ordained for this day i thank you that nothing shall come against me that has not first come past you and i thank you because i know that you are in control lord you know my story from the front cover to the back and you know everything in between god it is in the light of that truth that i come to you now with an humble spirit and a heart that wants to please you and right now father i come asking you to help me lord help me to be still i've read in your word that it is your will for us to be still and to know that you are god and so father right now i come asking that holy spirit would help me to access the grace that is on my life to simply be still god in those moments when i feel like it's taking too long and in those moments when i get anxious or feel like there is something that i can do in my own human strength i ask that you would have your holy spirit to speak a word that settles me a word that reminds me of who you are i know that you are god and i know that you are good i know that you are in control and i trust you but god i know i can be honest with you [Music] there are still some areas that i need to surrender to you in those times when i struggle it reminds me of mark 9 verses 23 and 24 where jesus said to the man whose son was vexed with a spirit if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes and immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears lord i believe help my unbelief so now lord i'm crying out to you lord i trust you please help me in the areas where i lack trust help me in those areas where despite what my mouth says my actions prove that i don't trust you like i should help me to rest in psalm 46 verse 10 where it says be still and know that i am god i will be exalted among the nations i will be exalted in the earth god help me to exalt you lord i myself want to exalt you above everything in my life i speak the word of god over my life that says in second corinthians 10 verse 5 that i should cast down imaginations and every high thing that tries to exalt itself against the knowledge of god and i bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of christ i declare that you are lord over all when satan brings situations before me and he tries to make them big when he comes with sickness or he comes with bills when he throws up my children's ungodly behavior in my face or when he reminds me of how unloving my spouse has been or how bad things have been at work lord in those times i will open my mouth and i will glorify you i will exalt you above every one of those things because i refuse to allow any of those things to exalt themselves above who i know you to be in the earth and who i know you to be in my life and despite what the enemy says i will do what psalm 37 verse 7 says and it reads be still before the lord and wait patiently for him fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way over the man who carries out evil devices god i will wait patiently for you to manifest in my situation i already know that it's in your hands but i'll wait patiently until i can see your hand at work lord nobody has been as patient with me as you have you know all my quirks you know my tendencies and yet you have waited on me so lord now i will wait on you i will wait because i know that in all actuality it is the reverse i know you're waiting on me if there's something that you have not brought to pass i know that it's not because you're slack because ii peter 3 verse 9 says the lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness yes there is a waiting period but it's you waiting on me you're waiting on me to come into maturity waiting on me to get the revelation you've been trying to show me waiting on me to position myself you're waiting on my mind to change so that when you put me in the position i can keep when you give me the new job i can excel at it when you give me that spot in ministry i'll stay humble when you give me that thing i've been waiting for i'll be in a mindset to give you all the glory there are so many things we can get but once we get them can we keep them so you've been waiting patiently waiting because it's not your desire for me to just get what you have for me but you want me to be positioned to keep what you have for me and so lord in this waiting time help me to wait patiently lord i've seen in your word what happens when people aren't willing to wait i see what happens when we as humans begin to feel that we can bring things to pass because it seems like you're taking too long because abram and sarai couldn't seem to bear a child they wanted to help bring to pass what you had promised and in their own human attempts sarai told abram to take hagar her maidservant so that she could bear him a son and he did but oh what a mess they made rebecca saw something special on jacob but she tried to help him achieve greatness through trickery and the mess it made took years to try to correct god you have your own timing and you have your own way and lord i don't want a birth a substitute lord i don't want to try to get ahead of you help me to wait patiently for you and god in those times when i don't know what to do and it seems like i'm in a panic when i seem surrounded by so much uncertainty help me to put my mind on you the one who has never moved by any circumstance the one who is never moved by any situation the one who knows the end from the beginning help me keep my eyes on you and help me keep my trust in you lord help me put my focus back on you because god when i put my focus back on you all things are put in perspective that's when all things are put in their place and so lord help me submit to your will your plans and your timing because father i know that you know best lord still my heart when my mind is racing and everything around me seems to be out of control help me to just breathe through it help me to move my focus away from things on the earth and help me to fix my focus on you because i've known it to work over and over again in times when things on the earth begin overwhelm me i would close my eyes and just focus on you i focus on you and the great big god that you are how you frame the universe and spoke the world into existence and it reminds me that you are in charge and you always have been you know what you're doing so god i relinquish everything into your hands i resign as the ceo of my life i give that position over to you because i know you know exactly what you're doing exodus 14 14 says the lord will fight for you you need only to be still so lord in the words of the song that i find so much comfort in i ask you teach me to be still teach me to lay down i give up all my strength and lay my armor on the ground show me how to rest on the altar of your will i know that you are god but teach me to be still please lord teach me to be still it is in the mighty matchless name of jesus that i pray amen and amen grace to me is being gifted with something that you cannot earn or pay for grace is god giving us what we do not deserve and i wonder how many of us really understand the magnitude and wonder of god's grace his amazing grace the grace of the lord is something we should never take for granted and so beloved personally i think of his grace over my life his goodness and mercy all of which are totally undeserved but he still freely gives all i can say is thank you lord jesus christ it's by his grace that i am here today it's by the grace of jesus christ that i am in good health i haven't done anything to deserve it i've done nothing to be worthy of such favor but in his mercy in his love and by his grace i have strength in my body i have breath in my lungs it's by god's grace that i am filled with joy and hope it's by god's grace that i have peace in my heart i am grateful to the lord because if it had not been for his grace and mercy things could so easily have been tragic for me things could have so easily gone horribly wrong but in his goodness he made my crooked places straight he made a way for me when my back was against the wall i am amazed by the grace of god as i look back over my life as i look at some of the bad decisions i made some of the mistakes i made god held me and he kept me it's by his grace that nothing destroyed me it can only be his goodness that kept me from losing my mind so allow me at this moment to just praise him equally as you listen can you honestly look back at your life and not praise him look at where he brought you from look at how many times he saved you look at all the times he forgave you we need to thank him and appreciate his goodness we all have a story we all have a past yet we all have been given amazing grace i believe that his grace should also be the reason we have boldness to proclaim the gospel to the world the bible says in 2 timothy 1 verse 8 to 9. therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our lord nor of me his prisoner but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of god who saved us and called us to a holy calling not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace which he gave us in christ jesus before the ages began let us pray my dearest savior and lord the king of kings the lord of lords jesus christ i thank you for your grace your amazing grace that has been so good to me your grace and love is what has kept me your grace toward me is unmerited i do not deserve it but yes you gave it to me you gave it to me in abundance and i thank you lord there is nothing that i could possibly do or offer to earn your love and favor but father you have been so kind to me you have been ever so faithful nonetheless your word says my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness thank you lord jesus because of your grace i lack for nothing because even when i am weak i am strong in you lord i stand on your word and hebrews 4 verse 16 a verse that says let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need may your grace and mercy continue to surround me and lead me it's by your grace lord that i am blessed when i come in and blessed when i go out so i ask that you may stand with me and stand by my side lead me to walk with discernment and diligence in this world lead me to walk by faith and not by sight [Music] holy spirit please encircle me comfort me and hold me safe and secure in your arms help me to be bold if you are on my side then i can declare that i will not be crushed by fear and anxiety if you are with me then i can declare peace in my heart and mind i look to you as the rock of my life my fortress my strong tower and my strength when i am weak you are a sovereign god who has charge over my life and you are a god who is faithful to deliver those who trust you your word says a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you i believe this i believe that nothing no evil no darkness shall come near me because of you because of your amazing grace so i look to you a mighty god who moves mountains a god who breaks down every barrier a god who can crush the devil and remove every obstacle in my life i have the confidence that if i remain in your presence you will help me to let go of all my worries and stress help me to let go of everything i cannot control i may be limited but you are not you are a god who is in control i believe in your word which says and my god will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in christ jesus i stand on your word that says surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and i will dwell in the house of the lord forever thank you for the promises in your word promises that fill me with hope and remind me of your love [Music] the more i read your word the more my faith grows the more confidence i have the more strength i have to press forward [Music] isaiah 40 verse 31 says those who wait on the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint i pray that you renew my strength lord renew my faith and believe so that i might face today in the authority of your word you are all-powerful lord jesus and you are a god who will never leave us nor forsake us you are holy and worthy to be praised thank you for listening to my prayer in jesus name i pray amen lord jesus only you can secure my future only you hold my tomorrow i speak the covering of the blood of jesus upon each and every believer who is listening i pray that faith reigns in our lives instead of fear i pray that joy is in our minds instead of sadness i pray that peace reigns in our hearts and minds instead of worry and anxiety lord jesus at this time let your power fall in our lives as we call the name above all names i pray that every feeling of doubt is destroyed every feeling of fear is thrown away and every anxiety is no more hear our prayer i thank you for the battles that you fight for me those seen and unseen father i ask for divine protection i ask divine intervention you know my struggles lord you know what i'm fighting against and so i call for your help i cannot do this alone the bible says in psalm 32 verse 7 you are my hiding place you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance this world can never take away the authority given to me in your word your word which says in the book of luke i have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy nothing will harm you i thank you king jesus for this authority you've given me to overcome all the power of the enemy i stand in strong belief i stand and decree i stand and declare that nothing will harm me nothing will harm my loved ones or my family my circle in jesus name the devil has no authority over my home he has no say over my future or my family he has no power over my health i trust in you jehovah i say that you are my refuge you are the chief cornerstone and i choose to trust in the true and living god you provide me with shelter from life's
