A Shield to All Who Come

Every word of God proves true.
    He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.

—Proverbs 30:5 (NLT)

Father God,

Thank You for all the times that Your words have been proven true in my life—and for the comfort and hope that comes over me when I remember Your faithfulness to Your Word!

Remind me to run to Your Word—the Bible—every day, so that by Your Spirit You can reveal the Truth that You have waiting there for me to discover.

And should I become discouraged, help me to look back and remember how in all my life Your words have always proven to be true—and have worked to my great gain, when I have been faithful to live in willing obedience to Your Word.

Help me never to forget that You have provided this pathway to Truth out of Your great love for me—so that if I seek out Your Truth and apply it to my life, Your Word will become a shield to me, covering me, protecting me and keeping me in perfect peace.

Thank You for all the times that Your words have been proven true in my life—and for the comfort and hope that comes over me when I remember Your faithfulness to Your Word!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
