My Strength And Shield, My Joy



The LORD is my strength and shield.
    I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
    I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

—Psalm 28:7 (NLT)


Gracious LORD,


Let me always sing Your praises with a joyful heart—bursting out in songs of thanksgiving for all You have done!


For You, LORD, are my strength!  You sustain me in every way—physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually—no matter what troubles I face.  You carry me through every storm of life and never allow me to slip from Your grip.

You are my shield!  You shield me from all the attacks of my adversaries!  Because I have made room in my heart for You, the Truth of Your Word rules and reigns there as a victorious standard against the lies the enemy would have me believe.

You are my helper!  You help me, because I put my trust in You!  And I am helped even as I wait for You to move on my behalf, by the hope that I have because of Your proven faithfulness to me.

My heart is filled with joy!  It bursts forth from me in songs of thanksgiving!  For You have patiently and passionately pursued me according to Your unrelenting and unfailing love for me!


Let me always sing Your praises with a joyful heart—bursting out in songs of thanksgiving for all You have done!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
