Because he has anchored his love in Me, I will deliver him.  I will place him securely on high, for he has faith in My name.  When he calls upon Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.  I will satisfy him with a long life and show him My salvation.  Psalm 91:14-16

Thank You Lord for our Bibles and verses of encouragement we can read like these.  Thank You for showing us that no matter what is going on in our lives You ARE there.  Thank You for Your help in understanding and accepting.  So often Lord things in our lives don’t make sense and our natural instinct is to question and wonder.  You are there!   You know!  You care! Oh…how we thank You and praise You for giving us the faith to believe and KNOW that You are with us always.   We love You Lord and thank and praise You for Your everlasting love. 

Thank You Lord.

The Lord will shield your going out and your coming in from now on for evermore.  Psalm 121:8

Thank You Lord for always watching over us.  Thank You for Your peace and comfort knowing that You are there to help in ALL situations.  Often Lord it is hard to understand why things are going wrong in our lives.  Then we read verses like this and have to ask ourselves if they are really going ‘wrong’ or is there a different plan that You have for our lives.  Lord, I will be the first to admit it takes me a while to stop and listen to what You are trying to teach me.  It is verses like this one that remind me You are there….’The LORD WILL Shield.’  Thank You for being my SHIELD Lord.  Thank You for giving me the faith to believe and to trust YOU.  Thank You for helping me walk on knowing You ARE shielding me.  Oh….how I thank and praise You for taking care of me. 

Thank YOU Lord.
