Cares of this world are jumbled in my mind, vying for my attention.

But my heart is drawn to the Rock who is higher than I, the steady in the storm, the One who beckons me to turn my eyes to Him.(Ps 61:12)

He calls me to sit and remember, that He is a faithful shield about me. He is the lifter of my head -again and again. (Ps 3:3)

My help has always come, not from my own strength, but from the Lord the maker of heaven and earth. (Ps 121)

He is the strong tower where I can run. (Prov18:10)

He hides me in the shelter of His wings. (Ps 91:4)

He stands so close, He is a shadow over me. (Ps 121:5)

He makes His presence known to me and floods my soul with peace that makes no earthly sense. (Phil 4:7)

Though I daily walk in the valley of the shadow of death, because of Him, I will fear no evil. (Ps 23:4)

My cup overflows with peace and hope and joy –because He alone is my portion. (Lam 3:24), He is my righteousness (Phil 3:9) , He is my way everlasting (Ps 139:24).

Though trouble surrounds me each day, though the evil one like a prowling lion seeks to rob, kill and destroy; God, in me, is stronger. (Matt 6:34, I Pet 5:8, 1 John 4;4)

He goes before me. He fights for me. (Deut 31:8, Ps 18:47)

He calls me the apple of His eye. He knows the way I should take. He knows every thought before a word is on my tongue. (Ps 17:8, Prov 3:6, Ps 139:4)

He beckons me to cast my cares on Him. Again and again. (Phil 4:6-7)

He never sleeps. He never slumbers. He never tires of my prayers. (Ps 121:4, Ps 116:1-2)

He hears me. He sees me. (Ps 34:15)

Though my foot stumbles, even when I’m faithless, He is faithful. (2 Tim 2:11-13)

He never leaves. He never forsakes. (Deut 31:6)

He is power and no weapon formed against me shall stand. (Is 54:17)

Though I fail Him, He has never failed me. (Ps 73:26)

His mercy floods over me. His forgiveness washes me again and again. (Ps 103:10-12, Mic 7:18-19)

He patiently beckons me to let go of my cares, my worries, my stubborn desire to control that which I can never control. (Prov 16:9)

Once again, He reminds me of the sweetness of surrender, in the letting go, in the dying to self, that it is there, that I truly live. (Gal 2:20)

And so, before the day breaks, I lay my burdens down again –reminded that I am a child of the Most High.

Because I am a child of the Most High, I walk in strength that is far greater than my own.

And so can all who call upon the POWERFUL NAME of the Lord!
