“He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” Psalm 91:15 (end of year)

Dear God, There is trouble all around me. There are challenges and obstacles around every corner. The devil wants to destroy me. He is always working in me, on me, and around me to destroy my faith, to destroy my ministry, to destroy my family, to destroy me. He hates me and wants me dead to you. Protect me from his evil darts. Shield me with your angels, with your power, with your Word, so that his darts do not pierce me. Send your angels to watch over my every footstep so that I do not fall into danger. Yes, dear Lord, be my refuge, my strength, and my shelter from life’s storms. I hear you promising that my hope is not displaced. You promise that you will hear me and not just hear me but be with me and not just be with me in trouble but also deliver me. You will not let me down today, tomorrow, or any day. Stay close, dear Lord, as this year ends and a new one begins. Guard me. Guide me. Protect me. Amen.

Our trust in God is not misplaced. He has done, is doing, and will do what he has promised that he would do.
