May the Lord Draw You out of many Waters and Give You Peace

Perhaps you are going through a very difficult time at the moment, the Lord is saying to you, "Dear child, peace be still."  If your soul is troubled and things seem to be working against you, the Lord is saying to you, "Peace, be still." If your heart is broken and you are going through disappointments, the Lord is saying, "Peace, be still." If you are tired, don't know what to do and you feel like packing it in, the Lord is saying, "Dear child, peace, be still, peace, be still...you are not forsaken, I am with you" 

 

My prayer for you today is in Psalm 3,

 

"LORD, how they have increased who trouble me!

Many are they who rise up against me.

Many are they who say of me,

"There is no help for him in God."

 

But You, O LORD, are a shield for me,

My glory and the One who lifts up my head."

 

When you are troubled on every side and you feel you are under attack.  When many rise up against you at work, in your home, amongst friends or wherever else, and when many are thinking negative thoughts towards you, thinking you will never find help in your situation. I pray that the Lord will be a shield for you. He will be the glory and the lifter of your head.  I pray the Lord will save you from all those who persecute you and deliver you. I pray you will cry to the Lord with your voice and He will hear you from His holy hill.

 

When you lay down and sleep, and you feel restless, anxious, worried and panicky; when your soul is troubled within you, I pray that the Lord will sustain you.  I pray you will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against you all around.  I pray that the workers of iniquity will depart from you and that the Lord will hear the voice of your weeping.  I pray that the Lord will hear the voice of your supplication and He will receive your prayers. I pray the wickedness of the wicked will come to an end and that you will find peace in all aspects of your life.

 

The Lord says He will defend you, He will fight for you and He will justify you, if you only put your trust in Him.  Your defense is of God, who saves the upright in heart.

 

May the Lord be a refuge for you; a refuge in times of trouble.  May He be your defense.  The Bible says in Psalm 9 vs 12, "He does not forget the cry of the humble."  I pray that the Lord will not forget your cry.  He will answer you, He will have mercy on you.  He will consider your trouble and lift you up from the gates of death, that you may tell of His praise.  I pray that the Lord shall keep and preserve your soul.  I pray according to Psalm 16vs 5 that the Lord will maintain your lot and that lines will fall to you in pleasant places.

 

May the Lord give you counsel and your heart be glad.  May He instruct you in the night seasons and show you the path of life.

May the Lord keep you as the apple of His eye and hide you under the shadow of His wings, from the wicked who oppress you and from your enemies who surround you. May the Lord draw you out of many waters.  May He be your support and bring you out into a broad place. May the Lord deliver you and arm you with strength.  May He lift you up above those who rise against you and give you peace as you obey His word in Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
