In The Secret Place

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

—Psalm 91:1 (NKJV)

Almighty God,

Let me forever live in Your secret, sheltering place—that place where I find serenity, security, and safety—in that place that You have prepared for me in Your very presence.

Help me remember that I am drawn into that secret place when I live in constant, prayerful communion with You, as I allow You to fill me with the truth of Your Word, as revealed by Your Spirit—and as I make that choice to believe Your promises to me.

Help me to find my place of rest in Your shadow—in close proximity to You, under Your covering, firmly held in Your everlasting arms of love.

Help me not to wander in and out of that secret place, but rather, make it my place of permanent residence—so I can remain under Your protection, where You are my rescue, refuge and rest, my only hope, forevermore.

Let me forever live in Your secret, sheltering place—that place where I find serenity, security, and safety—in that place that You have prepared for me in Your very presence.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Where I Want To Live

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
    will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

—Psalm 91:1 (NLT)

Almighty God,

Let me forever live in Your secret, sheltering place—where I find the serenity, security, and safety, which You have prepared, waiting there for me.

Help me remember that I enter into that secret place by living in constant communion with You—by abiding in Your Presence—and choosing to put all of my trust in You.

Help me to find my place of rest in Your shadow—in close proximity to You, under Your covering, firmly held within Your grip.

Help me not only to enter that secret place, but also to make it my place of permanent residence—where I remain under Your protection and where You are my refuge and rest, forever.

Let me forever live in Your secret, sheltering place—where I find the serenity, security, and safety, which You have prepared, waiting there for me.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

No One Else To Blame

And you have brought this upon yourselves
    by rebelling against the Lord your God,
    even though he was leading you on the way!

--Jeremiah 2:17 (NLT)

Dear Lord my God,

Lead me away from trouble and help me never to leave the covering of protection which is found in obedience to You.

All of Your commands and instructions are given to me for my protection—and by my obedience to them, I will keep myself from trouble.

Should I find myself in trouble, help me to realize that it was my rebellion that got me there—that I have no one else to blame.

Help me to trust that You are always leading me in love along the way that brings me joy, peace and protection—no matter where You ask me to go.

Help me to humbly submit my will to Yours alone—by not only hearing Your voice, but acting on what You ask me to do, so that all will go well for me.

Lead me away from trouble and help me never to leave the covering of protection which is found in obedience to You.

 In the name of Jesus, Amen.
