Psalm 91

The following is adapted from Psalm 91. I had this Psalm printed out and kept it in my purse, in my car, on my mirror, etc. I prayed it and spoke it over myself and my children even when I didn't "feel" like the words were true. The words ARE true because they are straight from God's Word and HIS Words are Truth. You can boldly speak these words, regardless of your "feelings" and pretty soon your "feelings" will catch up with the Spirit within you Who knows the Truth and does not rely on "feelings"!!

Lord, I dwell in Your shelter, the shelter of the Most High
Lord, I rest, I remain stable and fixed, under Your shadow,
the shadow of the Almighty [the Almighty whose power no foe can
withstand].
I will say of You, LORD, "YOU are my refuge and my fortress;
You ARE my God, in whom I trust." You ARE my refuge Lord. I [confidently]
trust in you no matter what LORD; I will lean on You and rely on you no
matter how I "feel", because You never change. You are my Rock.
Lord, I know and trust that you will save me from the Enemy’s traps, even as
he hunts me to trap me, You are there to protect me. Lord, you save me from the deadly pestilence and bring health (mental, spiritual, and physical) to my family.
Lord, you will then also cover me with your feathers,
and under Your wings I will trust and find refuge and safety, hidden from evil;
Your Truth and your faithfulness will be my shield and rampart, my buckler, my all-covering defense from anything that is not of You.
I will not be afraid of the terror of night, those things that keep others awake at night, I will sleep in peace.
I will not be afraid of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that fly about me during the day,
I will not be afraid of the pestilence, the diseased evil that stalks in the darkness at night,
I will not be afraid of the plague, the destruction and sudden death that surprises others and destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at my side, I may see others fall into sin all around me, even
ten thousand at my right hand, but it WILL NOT come near me, in Jesus' name!
I will only observe all of this with my eyes, I will only be a spectator [because I will be inaccessible in the secret shadow, secret place of the Most High] and I will see the punishment of the wicked.
Lord, because I have made You my refuge, the Most High my dwelling place, where I rest, no evil, no harm will befall me,
NO disaster will come near my home or my children in the name of Jesus!
For You, Lord, will command Your angels [especial] charge over me to guard me in all my ways, to surround me, to defend and protect me in all my ways;
Your angels will lift me up in their hands, they will raise me up above all of this, holding me
so carefully that not even my foot will strike against a stone.
Through you and the blood of Your Son, I am given power to tread upon the lion and the cobra; I will trample under my foot the great lion and the serpent. [I have power over the Enemy!]
Lord, You have said that because I love you, you will rescue me and deliver me from harm!
You will protect me and set me on high, for I acknowledge and understand Your name. I trust and believe you are all-powerful. I will call upon you, Lord, and You will answer me!
You are with me in trouble, You will deliver me and honor me.
With long life You will satisfy me and You will show me Your salvation.
In the name of Jesus!!!
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN

About this Psalm, Joyce Meyer writes: "When you and I feel a tide of emotions beginning to swell within us, we need to return to the secret place of the Most High, crying out to Him: "Father, help me resist this surge of emotions that threatens to overwhelm me!" If we will do that, the Lord has promised to intervene on our behalf . We need to learn to take refuge under His shadow, where we will be safe and secure, knowing that no power in heaven or earth can withstand Him."

(When studying this Psalm, I used the KJV, NIV, NASB, Amplified, and "The Everyday Life Bible")
