You Came When I Called

 

 

Yes, you came when I called;

    you told me, “Do not fear.”

Lord, you have come to my defense;

    you have redeemed my life.

 

—Lamentations 3:57-58 (NLT)

 

 

 

Faithful Lord, My Redeemer,

 

Thank You that, because of Your faithfulness to me, I don’t ever have to be afraid.

 

Thank You for being the God who hears me when I call out to You in prayer—the One who comes to me and speaks words of comfort to my soul, the One who speaks only truth and tells me, “Do not fear.”

 

Thank You for coming to defend me, by surrounding me with Your angelic armies—who fight against every attack of the enemy as he seeks to destroy me—and for ushering me safely through every battle by covering me in Your unfailing love.

 

Thank You for redeeming my life—for sending Christ to lay down his life and pay the price I could never pay—that I might find my life in Him, and live that life for Him alone!

 

Thank You that, because of Your faithfulness to me, I don’t ever have to be afraid.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

That Which Determines The Course Of My Life

Guard your heart above all else,
    for it determines the course of your life.

—Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

Help me to guard my heart above all else—understanding that what I allow to fill my heart, will determine the course of my life.

Help me to see that the battle for my heart is a battle that is waged against the enemy, in my mind, for the rights to occupy that sacred space, which is my heart—it is a battle over what thoughts (good or bad) and beliefs (right or wrong) that I will allow to fill my heart, and thus determine my life’s course.

Help me remember that You are always with me in this battle and that I am armed with the Truth of Your Word, the Bible, so that I have the strength that I need to stand against the enemy and the weapons I need to defeat him and defend the holy ground of my heart.

Help me to make my heart a space that only You can fill—with Your Presence and Power—as I wage every battle of my mind, by holding every thought captive until it lines up with the Truth of the Word, as revealed to my heart, by the Holy Spirit.

Help me to guard my heart above all else—understanding that what I allow to fill my heart, will determine the course of my life.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
