WE WALK WITH HIS FAVOR AND BLESSINGS WHEN WE CHOOSE HIM

Psalm 1:1 Blessed are those who do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, stand in the way of sinners, or sit with the scornful.

When we choose God over the world, we have God's favor and blessings. We have to walk 🚶‍♂️ in God's ways to see the obstacles ahead of us, or we will stumble and fall. We are easily influenced by the flesh because we have served our fleshly desires longer than the spirit. So, to walk 🚶‍♀️ in His ways, we need His strength, courage, guidance, wisdom, and the knowledge of how to implement it into our lives when needed.

Father, thank You for the wake-up call today, and thank You in advance for the hedge of protection around us today. Lord, please keep Your hands on our children, their children, our families, friends, and enemies 🙏. Lord, we ask You to order our steps in Your ways 🙏. Lord, hold our hands as we walk through this valley of death and steer us around the obstacles and darkness ahead. Lord, strengthen our prayer lives and give us a strong desire for Your Word. Let Your Word teach us how to breathe and control our emotions so we can resolve our problems in Your way. Father, give us discernment and a charitable heart ❤️ so we will help others. Father, let the Holy Spirit transform us into the children You created us to be, in Jesus name Amen. 

PRAY FOR OUR PASTOR'S

We have yet to reach our goals, and we are not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of us. So we keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. "We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God(Romans 3:23). I am certainly not perfect and will not pretend to be. However, we are to live in this world but not be of this world (2 Corinthians 10:3)" Especially those called to lead God's people.

One reason Pastors fall so hard from grace. We put them on a pedestal, but they are humans, too. God called them to serve just like He called us to serve. We're not perfect, and neither is our Pastor. God is still working in them like He's working in us. But I do not follow pastors who are committing Abominational sins. When we accept Christ, the Holy Spirit starts working to change us, and the only way we don't change God is not in us.

Lord, encourage Your Pastors today, those You called to preach, and deliver them from all that separates them from You. Give them the wisdom and knowledge to implement You in their lives to help them fulfill the work You called them to do, in Jesus' name. Father, give them victory over every evil attack against them and cover their minds, bodies, and spirits with Your powerful protection. Lord, give them eyes that see things from Your perspective so they can teach us in Your ways. Lord, hold their hands as they maneuver through a world that seems crazy and lost its way; we come to you this morning seeking answers, strength, and courage for the days ahead. In Jesus' name, Amen 

PROTECT THE CHILDREN

Matthew 18:5- 6 says that whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. 6 "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea

Where there's a lot of money 💰 typically, there's a lot of evil floating around and those willing to sell their souls or their children to have it. We can all walk straight and narrow or take shortcuts to get there quicker. But getting there through shortcuts can be very costly mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. The entertainment industry will take advantage of young people for their Sadistic games, and they should be punished, and the parents who leave their children with these monsters should be punished as well.

Oh, most gracious God, we petition You for our children, especially those sold in slavery physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Lord, give them Your comfort, send Your grace upon them, and let them feel Your presence around them. Lord, hold their hands as they walk through this valley of death. Protect them from the danger and darkness of this world, from ill-intended people, and from those who wish to take advantage of their Innocence. Divinely intervene, Lord, when they are in harm's way. Protect our children from the dangers they cannot see coming and punish those responsible for their pain and discomfort right now in the name of Jesus. Amen

NEED DELIVERANCE CALL ON HIM

Psalms 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

God will deliver us from difficult situations especially temptation 🙏 Just call out to Him and He'll give us a way to escape 

Lord, walk us around the obstacles of addiction, Alcohol, gambling, adultery, fornication, lying, and stealing. Lord, Bind every demonic spirit, generation curse, and force of darkness around us right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, cover us under Your wings when the enemy attacks 🙏 Lord, thank You in advance for providing us a safe place and helping us out of the darkness. Father, right now, those who face Court cases, let justice ⚖️ be served in righteousness. Lord, help those who have been falsely incarcerated; Lord, give them patience and mercy through this valley of death. Thank You, Lord, for where we are and for keeping us focused on You and moving forward 🙏 Lord, thank You for choosing our hearts to dwell in, washing us in the Blood, and cleaning Your temple to give You room to move in a mighty way. Lord, let us not be religious fanatics but inward-changed men and women who live to serve Your purpose. Lord, give us eyes that see things from Your perspective so we do not miss our blessings. Lord, we pray for our men who have been persecuted by the oppressors. Lord, fill them with confidence, courage, and the strength they need to overcome right now in the name of Jesus. Father, we thank You for making time for us 🙏 when we are weak and comforting us through our day-to-day struggles and storms. Lord, thank You for the wake-up call and bless those who were called home and those left behind. Give them the strength they need to get through their grief. Lord, we have so much to be grateful for, so we come to the altar with a heart of gratitude. In Jesus' name, Amen

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME

Lord, I am not anxious or worried about what people will do to me. Because they can't do it without Your permission. I wanna thank You, Lord, for shining Your light on me. Adopting me into Your holy family and giving me the same rights and authority that You've given Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for giving me the strength to regain when I fall. Thank You for Your wisdom and courage to deny myself and stand on Your Word. Thank You for helping me be a better steward with Your money. Thank You for keeping order in my life, home, business, and family. Thank You for the Spiritual soldiers and friends You have surrounded me with. Lord, I petition You for a special blessing over Cornelius Wallace, Samantha, my grandchildren, and their children. Over Bonnie-Lady Glam, Cory Carmichael, Shonda and her family, P'g Rencia and her children, Ashley Crawford and her family. Keep Your hands on all my nieces and nephews, especially Laresh and my sister Myra, brothers Jusio and Lawrence. Lord, I pray for comfort for all those Veter Dixon Jr. Left behind. Lord, give them peace as we give back to You what You have graciously given us. Lord, by the power You've given me, I bind and rebuke every generation's curse, addiction, sickness, disease, and demonic spirits around them. Lord, for anyone going through legal troubles, falsely incarcerated, or just dealing with day-to-day struggles, I pray You lose them from it. Thank You for strengthening my faith and feeling Your presence around me. In Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, Amen. 

PUT IN SOME OVERTIME

Most of us put in the normal time with God. We pray worship study and praise. But do we put in overtime with God. Do we attend Sunday School, Bible Study, and Social and Community Events with our congregation. Do we volunteer for the clothes closet, feeding our community, etc. We all need to put in some overtime with God and like-minded people 🙏.

Our Savior longs to reveal Himself to us as we get to know Him through His word, spend time with Him in prayer, learn to listen to His voice, and enter into times of worship. 

Father, touch our hearts and minds with Your wisdom and knowledge. That fills us with the Holy Spirit that helps us serve You. Let Your Spirit set our atmosphere and guide us through our day. Thank You for the wake-up call, and thank You in advance for the hedge of protection around us today. Thank You, producing ❤️ fruit, understanding, and purpose for our lives. Lord, let Your Word take root in our hearts to give us eyes that see things from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instruction. Father, thank You for understanding our weaknesses and the knowledge of how to implement Your strength to overcome them. Thank You for clearing our names and restoring us to our Father. Thank You for teaching us to breathe when our flesh arouses our emotions 😢 🙏 Thank You for taming our tongues and giving us Your strength to walk away. Thank You, for the Overflow and the knowledge and tools to pass it forward 🙏 Thank You, for the Spiritual soldiers You have surrounded us with, thank You, for covering our children and their children in the Blood of Jesus. Thank You for holding our hands as we walk through this valley of death 🙏 in Jesus' name. Amen

HE IS STILL WITH US

God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

God does not take away our pain; He gives us strength to endure it. He does not take away our fears. He gives us the courage to face them. God does not take away our habits or addictions; He provides us with the wisdom and knowledge of how to give them up. God does not change us; He gives us the choice, the strength, and the courage to do it ourselves. Once we choose Him and receive the Holy Spirit, we begin to change, and the more we study, pray, and worship, the closer we become.

Father, we stand before Your throne of grace, thanking You for Your love, guidance, provisions, and protection. Father, let Your wisdom, knowledge, and clarity flow in and through us. Lord, where there is pain, we pray for comfort; where there is fear, we pray for courage; Where there is brokenness, we pray for restoration. Lord, give us understanding so we can implement Your promise in our lives as we stand on and practice what we have learned. Lord, fill us with Your Spirit that empowers us to walk in rightness. Father, right now, we rebuke every generation's curse and every negative word we have spoken over our children, family, friends, enemies, and ourselves by the stripes of Jesus. Lord, You said no weapon formed against us shall not prosper, and we stand on Your word without fear. Father, You said whatever we bind on earth, we bind in heaven, so we bind all unforgiveness, envy, jealousy, addictions, sickness, and depression, and cast them out by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we declare that all confusion, chaos, and racism be wiped away from our hearts and lives by the strips of Jesus. Lord, we pray for Your divine intervention in our lives; in Jesus' name, Amen.

MAKING THE BEST OF WHAT WE HAVE

James 4:1-17 What causes quarrels, and what causes fights among you? Is it not this that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have to because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"? ...

Studying the Word will teach us that having the best of everything is not as important as making the best of what we already have. Stop wanting what others have and be grateful for what you have. We pray for and focus on the wrong things; we need the Holy Spirit. 

Father, baptize us with the Holy Spirit that opens our hearts and minds to You. Lord, let the Holy Spirit Kindle a fire in us. That gives us a burning desire for Your Word. So we can obtain Your wisdom and the knowledge of how to implement You in our daily lives. Lord, let us not desire things that others have but be grateful for what we've been blessed with. Lord, give us eyes that see things from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instructions. So, Your word will manifest in our lives. Let Your Spirit help us in our weakness and our relationship with You. Lord, speak for us when we know not what to say. Let the Holy Spirit lead us in righteousness and help us serve Your purpose. In Jesus name Amen 🙏 

BECARFUL WHO YOU LET IN YOUR SPACE

2 Timothy 3:6 They are the men/women who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible men/women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires

Paul's description here suggests a con man, swindler, and false teacher and those who reject God in favor of their own preferences. Take time to know people who want to be close to you so you don't get caught in their snares. Whatever we do, include the Spirit because when we walk by the Spirit, we want to gratify the desires of our flesh.

Lord, we want You to be a part of every aspect of our lives, especially when we are weak and confused. Father, give us discernment and patience when we deal with others so we don't get ahead of Your peace and purpose 🙏 because apart from You, we can do nothing. Lord, we understand You are the source of all good things in us. Lord, teach us to walk in the Spirit, not our flesh. Lord, baptize us in the Holy Spirit that empowers us to walk in righteousness and not operate out of selfish ambition, jealousy, Envy, greed, or anger. Father, give us Your strength and courage to deny ourselves and our fleshly desires as we stand on Your word. Lord, help us breathe through our emotions to stay focused on You, rest in You, and trust You with our lives. So, our Fruit will begin to produce our Christ-like character. Lord, as we move forward into our week, help us push away all that is not of You and allow Your love and favor to flow through us.  In Jesus' name, Amen

BREATHE ON US

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Lord, thank You for clearing our names and thank You for the Holy Spirit that help keeps us from slipping. Examine us, oh Lord, and mend us where we are weak and use us where we are strong. Thank You for pulling us out darkness and giving us another chance at life. Thank You for allowing us to feel Your presence and holding our hands as we walk through this valley of death. Thank You, understanding and clarity of what this world and the people has to offer, and steering us around them. Thank You for teaching us how to be in love and at peace with ourselves, through the Holy Spirit. Thank You that our cries do not land on deaf ears, and we are so grateful. Thank You for the order You have bestowed upon our lives, our homes, our children, our workplace, our marriages, and our relationship with You. Thank You for teaching us how to breathe and control our emotions. Thank You for good health and being in our right minds. Thank You for the provision Lord God food, shelter, clothing, and teach us how to be charitable with the Overflow. Lord, thank You for discernment so we don't gather with the wicked nor follow the bloodthirsty and money hungry men and women of the world. Thank You for letting Your Word teach, rebuke, correct, and train us in righteousness. Father, we  honor and praise You, as we move forward into another year, let everything part of You speak to us. In Jesus' name, Amen

LET'S PRAY

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and he increases strength to him who has no might.

Lord, we worship You because You're our joy, strength, courage, comfort, healer, and You give us peace. A peace beyond our understanding, and we are grateful. Lord, we ask you to nullify, destroy, and cancel the devil's power over our lives and let our enemies get caught in their snares. Father, we come to You through the sacrifice of Jesus and according to Your promises. We ask for forgiveness and learn how to forgive genuinely. Lord, we pray for our first responders; give them traveling mercy in their comings and goings. Lord, bless and equip our teachers with the knowledge and tools they need to educate our children. Lord, keep us surrounded with spiritual soldiers who will help us with our walk. Hold our hands, Lord, and steer us around the obstacles ahead of us. Father, we ask You to destroy all wrong words and the power they carry as You tame our tongues. Father, rid us of any stress, fatigue, bad health, or anything that separates us from You. Thank You for renewing and refreshing our souls daily; in Jesus name, Amen 

SPIRITUAL WARRIORS

 Spiritual warriors are not what we think of as warriors. Spiritual warriors are not someone who fights because no one has the right to take another life. A Spiritual Warrior, for us, sacrifices themselves for the good of others.

• Darkness cannot drive out the darkness. Only light can do that. ...
• Dedicate Time Each Day for Spiritual Practice. ...
• Reign in the Senses. ...
• Stay Humble. ...
• Build Up Your Emotional Endurance. ...
• Practice Loving Kindness. ...
• Embrace the Five Agreements. ...
• Practice Non-Violence
• Courageous
• Patient
Spiritual Warriors are those who fight against the enemy, self-delusion. The oppressors, fears, and ignorance of this world cause unnecessary suffering.

Father, we come to You right now, Your unworthy servants, asking You for forgiveness and thanking You for Your mercy, grace, and favor, so much favor. Lord, right now, we are petitioning You on behalf of all our brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering at the hands of their oppressors. Father, fill them with Your strength and courage to help them endure their suffering and punish those responsible for their pain in Jesus' name. Lord, we pray for the homeless and the services and people that assist them. Lord, bless them all with overflow to continue Your good work. Lord, open our eyes and the hearts of our politicians so we can resolve this fast-growing problem. Father, right now, there are so many depressed people, depressed over their living situations, their finances, and the political red tape of this world; Lord, help us. Give those that are dealing with this crippling disease hope, peace, and understanding to help them get through. 🙏 Father, teach us how to breathe when facing adversity, fears, and darkness so we can remain focused on You and not our problem. Lord, search our hearts and minds and change us inside out so we do not become religious fanatics but inward change men and women ready to serve Your purpose. In Jesus' name, Amen

THANK YOU FOR WISDOM AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHO YOU ARE

Lord, I have come so far in my Spiritual growth and physical life, and I am so grateful. I could have been dead, incarcerated, or still in darkness, so thank You for saving me, reaching down in the Marley clay, and pulling me into Your grace. Lord, thank You for allowing people to turn against me so I could separate myself from them and move forward with Your plan for my life. Thank You, Father, for justice for my son and for working behind the scenes in my favor. Let all their Souls rot away from the inside out, Lord; I will stand on Your Word that You're still fighting my battles. So, I will be Victorious and no longer a victim. Lord, thank You for peace that allows me to be alone and happy. Lord, I will wait on You because I have seen what people and the world 🌎 have to offer. Father, You have provided me with overflow, and I am grateful. You have surrounded me with family and friends who have my best interest at heart as I do theirs. Thank You for Your gift of salvation and grace that gives me hope, peace, and joy. Lord, I thank You for all I have to come and help me be a good Stewart with Your blessings. Father, because of who You are in me, I fall down in worship and adoration before You. Father, I praise You, glorify You, bless You, and give thanks to You. In Jesus' name, Amen

GOD'S FAVOUR IS ALL OVER OUR LIVES

The favor of God forfeits the failure of men. We're not lucky; we're favored because luck runs out, but God's favor will abide with us forever. God's favor is powerful. His favor can move a peasant from poverty to a palace. It will drive people out of our lives who should not be there and surround us with angels.

I have floated in water that drowned others. I have found my way in darkness, even with my eyes closed. I have been betrayed by those I thought were my friends, but I realized it was God's plan to move me to where I needed to be, and I am grateful.

May Your favor rest on us and establish the work of Your hands in us and for us. Lord, we pray the blessing of Psalm 84:11 over our lives today: "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless." Father, wake our hearts each day to seek You first, and we thank You in advance for Your hedge of protection around us. Because of Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross, we come to You for forgiveness for our sins. Inspire us to turn and repent from anything threatening to separate us from You. Search our hearts, God, and renew the right spirit in us. We pray for Your favor to rain down on our lives, relationships, and friendships and spread like wildfire to everyone You have placed in our lives, from our spouses to our co-workers, church family, and those we pass in the grocery store aisles. Lord, help us be inward-changed men and women to help us stand on Your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen 

PRAYER FOR PURPOSE PARTNERSHIP

Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." 

We must have a purpose partner to grow; therefore, we must be evenly yoked. A purpose partner is someone honest and loyal to you. A purpose partner is a person who stands with you no matter what you're going through. A purpose partner will always put you first because when you're happy, they're so glad. A purpose partner will show you affection inside and out, no matter where. A purpose partner will be there when you're spiritually, mentally, or physically sick. A purpose partner will treat you like they wish to be treated.

Lord, we cry out to You, our Most High, to  fulfill Your purpose for us." So help us understand and see Your plan for our lives. Father, You have numbered our days and will meet every purpose You have for us. However, our choices and actions sometimes take us out of Your will, so we ask You to intervene and guide us back to Your oath of righteousness. Lord, You said it's not good to be alone; please order our steps towards the helper fit for us. Lord, give us eyes to see them from Your perspective so we don't look over them, and give us ears to hear Your instruction. Lord, we make many plans throughout our lives, but Your purpose will count for our lives. So, hold our hands as we walk through this valley of death to steer us around the obstacles ahead. Father, let our partnerships remain grounded in love and respect. Help us to recognize our organizations' diversity and unique gifts that complement each other. In the name of Jesus

MY BELIEFS AND I STAND ON THEM

I never challenge people about their beliefs, and I don't believe in religion. There is a higher source that we can tap into, and the source that I tap into is Jesus. I am 64 years old, and in 64 years, He has always been faithful to me even when I did not deserve it. If I pray for you, I pray to my God, my savior, and those who challenge me need to prove why I should follow or believe something else. Not because of what you read, not what you heard, but what you experienced. Because I shared my Jesus walking through my life. I saw him take me out of the darkness and bring me into the light. I saw him take betrayal and turn it into separation because I was not in the right place. He stripped me naked so I could only see him, and he made me understand that I had to bring him into my life, the center of my life. He clothed me with Grace, peace, and the Fruit of the Spirit that all hangs on the love that I have for him. And anybody who knows me knows the first person I speak to in the morning is Jesus. Throughout my day, the last person I talk to at night is Jesus. I'm not just a Sunday believer, but seven days a week. So I don't care what works for you, but I know what works for me, JESUS. Now, it's okay to challenge me, but never ever disrespect what I believe because I would never ever disrespect what you think. 💯 Now, I have cross-studied the Bible - King James Christianity. Qur'an - Islam, Gita - Hinduism (which was minimal because a friend at work taught me), and I was introduced to Torah - Judaism (by one of my clients). When you study them, you will find things in common, things omitted, and things changed to please man. This is why we must always pray before we read and ask God to only let us receive what is good because anything man has touched is flawed.

Father, we believe in Your Word, and help us with our unbelief. Breathe on us, Lord God. Help us develop our trust in You fully, without doubt, knowing that in You, all things are possible. Lord, hold our hands as we walk through this Valley of death and steer us clear of the obstacles ahead. Baptize us in the Holy Spirit that gives us steadfast faith as we cling to Your Son Jesus. So right now, Father, we humbly come to You for guidance, and grant us the fortitude we need to preserve throughout life. Lord, thank You for grace, mercy, forgiveness, and favor 🙏 so much favor. In Jesus' name, Amen 

PSALMS 121

Father, we lift our eyes to the mountains where our help comes from. Our Lord, the creator of heaven and earth, He will not let our feet slip, He who watches over us will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will not slumber nor sleep. He will watch over us. He is our shade at our right hands; the sun will not harm us by day nor the moon at night. The Lord will keep us from all harm. He will watch over our lives. He will watch over our comings and goings both now and always. Amen

KEEP THEM COVERED IN THE BLOOD

 Pray This Prayer Over Your Children

Lord, let no evil fall upon my son, Lord; intervene with every action of the enemy in the form of fights, in the form of relationship conflict, in the form of generations curses or any curses spoken over him, in the form of tribulation or financial difficulties, and in the form of addictions. I decree and declare right now that it is all broken and fall to the ground. Continue blessing my son and keep him covered by Your blood and by the anointing of Your protection. Father, lift my son up so he does not strike his foot on a stone. Let everyone Cornelius meets see his full potential and keep him humble. Lord, bless him with the Holy Spirit that empowers him to pursue righteousness and obedience and serve Your purpose, Father; give him eyes that see things from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instructions. Please, Lord, Shield him from the enemies' arrows; let them be broken and fall to the ground. Jehovah Rapha, I pray for healing over my son Cornelius spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally healing. Father, cleanse him in the blood of Jesus, wash away every demonic Spirit around him, and loose him from the darkness of this world as You hold his hand through this Valley of death. Lord, cover him with Your feathers, and under Your wings, let him find refuge and guide him in all his ways. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen

THE TONGUES OF THE RIGHTEOUS

The Spirit understands what we say. It doesn't determine if we're joking or speaking angrily, so watch what we say, especially to our children. If you keep telling a child, it will amount to nothing. You have just spoken a hostile destination over your Child. If you keep saying, "There are no men to be found,." Guess what? You won't find one; speak positive and use your words to bless you, your children, your family, your friends, and others.

Father, help us tame our tongues 👅 🙏 let our hearts be filled with the Holy Spirit when we speak and not anger. Let us not talk generally curses over our children, families, and friends. Instead, Lord, we prophesy prosperity,  good health, good stewardship, and peace in our lives and homes, in Jesus' name. We speak unity in our families, marriages, neighbors, community, and our leaders, Spiritual and physical, in Jesus' name. Lord, we are praying for those who were called home and those they left behind. Filled their hearts and minds with memories ♥️ comfort, and peace; hold their hands through this Darkness back into Your light. Father, keep our tongues from evil and our lips from telling lies. Lord, let our mouths be Fountains of Life, happiness, and joy,  in Jesus' name, amen.

PSALM 91

Lord, let us dwell in Your shelter, the shelter of the Most High. We will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. We will say of the Lord, "He is our refuge and our fortress, our God, whom we trust." Indeed, He will save us from the Fowler's snare and deadly pestilence. He will cover us with His feathers, and under His wings, we will find refuge; His faithfulness will be our shields and ramparts. We will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at our side, ten thousand at our right hand, but it will not come near us. We will only observe with our eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If we say, "The Lord is our refuge," our dwelling place, no harm will overtake us, and no disaster will come near our tent. For You will command Your angels concerning us, to guard us in all our ways; You will lift us up so that we will not strike our foot against a stone. We will tread on the lion and the cobra; we will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because You love us," says the Lord, "You will rescue us; You will protect us, for You acknowledge our names. You will call on us, and we will answer You; You will be with us in trouble; You will deliver us, and we will honor You; with long life, we will satisfy You and show You our salvation." in Jesus' name, Amen.
