A Prayer of Remembrance.
Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwells. So Oh my God and Father, remember me for good because thy words were sweet and I ate them and they were a source of joy and rejoicing to my heart. Therefore, as in thy word, I will always be remembered by thee.
( adapted from Psalm 26, Jeremiah 15 verse 16 and Nehemiah 13 verse 31)
My soul waits patiently for the Lord.
For none that wait on the Lord will be ashamed. The Lord will renew their strength.
As I wait on the Lord, I will hope, I will trust him, I will anticipate his blessing, and I will rest in him.
Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Is it not wonderous? ( adapted from Psalm 29, Psalm 130, and Isaiah 40.)
The Lord is great.
The Lord is the king of glory the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. He will fight for you. The Lord who owns this earth and all that is in the earth, the fulness, riches, the plenty of this earth is His . This same God says to ask him anything and prove him and see if He will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing. It will be a blessing juat for you. If only you will believe Him, you will receive whatever you ask. (adapted from Psalm 24, Malachi 3 verse 16 and Matthew 21 verse 22)
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. I shall lack nothing or have any desire that will not be met because the Lord is in control. He will grant me the desires of my heart if I delight in him.
Like a shepherd, he will guide me and protect me. He will take care of me all the days of my life.
God is good. And he knows those of us who trust in him. (adapted from Psalm 23 verse 1 and Isaiah 40 verse 11)
God is great and worthy to be praised.
The Lord is great from everlasting to everlasting. Praise his name from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same. All day long, I will sing his praises.
They shall come and declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this. One generation passes away, and another comes. (adapted from Psalm 22 verse 31)
With praise and Thanksgiving, we go beyond just bringing requests and our petitions to the throne of grace. With boldness, we can ask God in the name of his only son, Jesus Christ, anything. That is our freedom, our boldness. Remembering God and who He is. We also praise Him.
Thine O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O, Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. ( 1 Chronicles 29 verse 11)
He knows them that trust in Him. It is not enough to call Him Savior and go on our merry way, seeing He will never deny us His love. We need to spend time with Him and get to know Him beyond asking for what we need. Thank Him, praise Him, just talk with Him. To know Him is to trust him.
I am the good shepherd…and I am known of mine. (Adapted from John 10 verse 14)
His mercy endures forever.
God delivered me from mine enemies: yes, he lifted me up above those that rise up against me. Therefore, will I give thanks unto the Lord and sing praises to his name.
He is an all forgiving God. His mercy endures forever. ( adapted from Psalm 18 verses 48 and 49, Psalm 118 and Psalm 136 verses 1 to 9.
We have complete coverage wherever we are or wherever we go. Because the Lord is our shield and buckler.
A shield is large and can be placed as a barrier to stand behind when perjectiles such as arrows are launched.
A buckler is smaller. It is personal protection used in close hand to hand combat.
For those who trust in the Lord, he is our protector, our shield, and our buckler. We are covered from whatever the enemy will try to do to us, whether it is an attack on our mind with depression or sorrow. It could come as an attack on our finances through loss of employment. It does not matter what, but we need to put the Lord first and trust him. He will be our champion.
He is a present help in times of trouble, and he knows them that trust in him. ( Psalm 46 verse 1)
The Lord is:
He is altogether lovely. (Psalm 18 verse 2 and Solomon 5 verse 16)
