EZEKIEL 34:28 (NLT)
They will live in safety, and no one will frighten them.
MATTHEW 16:18 (GNT)
...not even death will ever be able to overcome it.
THE ESSENCE
God's presence is our forever safe place.
DAILY FODDER
There is some kind of unconventional power at work when we're in God's presence. Yes, nasty stuff still happens around us — and we definitely feel it — but it's like we're in a divine bubble protecting us from significant harm.
PRAYER
Lord, you are my stronghold. Protect me from the lies of the evil one that keep me in fear. Guard my heart with your word. In your name, Jesus, I cast out the doubts and thoughts that plague me. I will stand firm on your promises today and pass them on to those friends that need assurance. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
