Trust in the Lord and ask Him for all your needs.
Whisper a prayer of believing and trust –
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust. I call on thee and there is no one like thee. Thou art the God of all and above all, mighty in power and wisdom who can never fail or change.
Hear my cry and come in as I wait for thee.
And the Lord answers saying, “Fear not; for you shall not be ashamed.”
(Adapted from Psalm 31 verse 1, Romans 10 verse 11)
Praise in the midst of mourning.
I will give thanks unto thee, oh Lord.
To the end, my glory will praise thee for thou turned my mourning into dancing.
When I looked, I saw that weeping only lasted for the night because Joy came in the morning.
( Adapted from Psalm 30)
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)
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)
Keep things simple. Don’t worry, but live for today. Worrying never changed anything; it never pushed things forward it only gets you frustrated, which then leads to heartache.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the shall take thought for things of itself. (Matthew 6 verse 34)
Yet To Be 310
Although we may fear the uncharted, all the things hidden around the corner, the Lord is in control.
He remains faithful when we fall.
He catches us and holds us close when we are afraid.
There is no one like Him.
If we believe not, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2 verse 13.
He loves us.

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashame: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame. Isaiah 54 verse 4.
His words are true. His love is real.
His promises can never fail.
With his blood, he has bought our hearts.
Now, seen in him, we will never part.
Standing in faith, there is no shame, no press of fear.
Because the God of peace, our eternal Lord, is here and will remain near.
Yet To Be #302
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar. Jeremiah 30 verse 10A.
Or
Therefore fear thou not, O my child of God…
I will save you from afar.
God may not be physically here as in flesh and blood, but his arm is not short.
And his promises are real.
His promises are true.
He is still able to save.
He can still keep you safe.
Yet To Be # 299
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10 verse 5.
Some people are good, and in all appearances, they do well.
They are not the ones to fear.
They will do nothing; they will say nothing, nor do they see anything.
They have no life within them.
They will neither be against you or be for you.
They are like a vapor; here, one moment, then gone the next as if the vapor never existed.
YET TO BE # 296
Oh, Lord, with praise and joy, I give thanks.
I do not deserve thy goodness.
I live in fear and anxiety about things I cannot control.
Yet, when I cry to thee and call upon thy name, I feel a peace that surrounds me;
I breathe and move forward.
Not knowing what will happen or where I should go.
But belief inhabits my heart, and I trust thee.
So, I give thanks.
