Psalm 91:1-2\u00a0<\/b>\u201cWhoever dwells in the shelter\u00a0of the Most High will rest in the shadow\u00a0of the Almighty. 2\u00a0I will say of the\u00a0Lord, \u201cHe is my refuge\u00a0and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0The vultures circle me from high in the sky.\u00a0 They see me lying beside a creek.\u00a0 Yet they will not approach me.\u00a0 For they see that I am protected by the Almighty, the only Almighty.\u00a0 He is always with me.\u00a0 He is close and His shadow is upon me.\u00a0 I am safe.\u00a0 I am not dead or wounded, I rest though danger circles me.\u00a0 I rest because God is my refuge and my fortress.<\/span><\/p>\n

10\u00a0no harm\u00a0will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11\u00a0For he will command his angels\u00a0concerning you to guard you in all your ways;\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0The Lord is within me and I am within Him.\u00a0 My God resides in me and day by day He cleans me and renews me.\u00a0 All that I am, every cell within me, is continuously regenerated and remade to be more of who He is and less of the weakness that I am.\u00a0 He is my refuge.\u00a0 My Lord is ever with me.\u00a0 He loves me and guards me.\u00a0 Shall illness overtake me?\u00a0 Shall the enemy prevent me from going forward in the will of God?\u00a0 Never!\u00a0 He cannot!\u00a0 For it is the presence of God who protects me as I walk where He directs me.\u00a0 Should something or someone overtake me, I have no fear because it can only be so by His will.\u00a0 Because He has blessed me with the knowledge of Himself, and because my eyes have seen His love and His might expressed to me, and because He has promised me in His Word, I do not fear.\u00a0 I am absolutely and without repentance convinced of His goodness and love. He knows all and He knows best.\u00a0 If my life is required by the will of my God, then so be it.\u00a0 Surely, as Job said, the Lord gives and the Lord takes away.\u00a0 He loves me no more when He gives than when He takes away.\u00a0 I am convinced of the goodness and love of God and so my heart is at peace.<\/span><\/p>\n
