Defense, shielding,
shelter, preservation.
00:00:32.96\00:00:38.07
Just speaking those words
stirs up feelings of safety.
00:00:38.10\00:00:41.90
That reminds me of
our prayer topic today,
00:00:41.94\00:00:44.14
protection.
00:00:44.17\00:00:45.74
And some powerful
verses related to this topic
00:00:45.77\00:00:48.34
are found in Psalm 1:24.
00:00:48.38\00:00:51.21
Listen to this.
00:00:51.25\00:00:52.91
"If it had not been the
Lord who was on our side
00:00:52.95\00:00:55.55
now may Israel say,
00:00:55.58\00:00:57.35
if it had not been the
Lord who was on our side,
00:00:57.39\00:00:59.85
when men rose up against us,
00:00:59.89\00:01:01.92
then they would
have swallowed us alive.
00:01:01.96\00:01:04.09
When their wrath
was kindled against us,
00:01:04.13\00:01:06.49
then the waters
would have overwhelmed us.
00:01:06.53\00:01:08.46
The stream would have
gone out over our soul.
00:01:08.50\00:01:11.43
Then the swollen waters
would have gone over our soul.
00:01:11.47\00:01:14.34
Blessed be the Lord
00:01:14.37\00:01:15.70
who has not given us
as a prey to their teeth.
00:01:15.74\00:01:18.34
Our soul has escaped
00:01:18.37\00:01:19.71
as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers.
00:01:19.74\00:01:21.88
The snare is broken
and we have escaped.
00:01:21.91\00:01:24.48
Our help is in
the name of the Lord
00:01:24.51\00:01:26.45
who made heaven and earth."
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.18
I trust in God
00:01:34.99\00:01:39.36
Wherever I may be
00:01:39.39\00:01:45.20
Upon the land
00:01:45.23\00:01:47.90
Or on the troubled sea
00:01:47.94\00:01:53.41
For come what may
00:01:53.44\00:01:57.75
From day to day
00:01:57.78\00:02:02.22
My heavenly
Father Watches over me
00:02:02.25\00:02:07.02
I trust in God
00:02:11.63\00:02:14.90
I know He cares for me
00:02:14.93\00:02:20.37
On mountain bleak
00:02:20.40\00:02:23.97
Or on the stormy sea
00:02:24.01\00:02:26.54
Though billows roll,
00:02:29.64\00:02:34.55
He keeps my soul
00:02:34.58\00:02:39.35
My heavenly
Father Watches over me
00:02:39.39\00:02:43.83
He makes the rose
00:02:49.53\00:02:52.47
An object of His care
00:02:52.50\00:02:58.07
He guides the eagle
Through the pathless air
00:02:58.11\00:03:02.24
And surely He remembers me
00:03:05.91\00:03:09.48
My heavenly
Father Watches over me
00:03:13.62\00:03:17.06
Heavenly Father,
00:03:28.60\00:03:30.67
I thank You, Lord,
for hearing my prayers.
00:03:30.71\00:03:33.48
I pray, Lord, that
You hear the prayers
00:03:33.51\00:03:35.44
of so many people in need,
00:03:35.48\00:03:37.55
so, many people
desperate for Your help.
00:03:37.58\00:03:40.45
Father, You saved me.
00:03:40.48\00:03:42.58
You rescued me,
00:03:42.62\00:03:44.29
and I know that You
will save them also.
00:03:44.32\00:03:48.26
I thank You,
Father, with all my heart
00:03:48.29\00:03:50.63
for hearing this prayer,
00:03:50.66\00:03:52.49
for I pray in Jesus' name.
00:03:52.53\00:03:55.00
Amen.
00:03:55.03\00:03:58.23
Thank You, Lord,
00:03:58.27\00:03:59.60
for Your divine protection
00:03:59.63\00:04:00.97
during this time of uncertainty.
00:04:01.00\00:04:03.37
I come to You
seeking Your protection
00:04:03.41\00:04:05.37
for my brothers
and sisters in Christ.
00:04:05.41\00:04:08.21
Protect our mind and body
00:04:08.24\00:04:09.78
from the evils that surround us.
00:04:09.81\00:04:12.21
Let the light of
God encompass us.
00:04:12.25\00:04:15.02
Give us the fortitude
to share the love of Christ
00:04:15.05\00:04:17.62
and not be afraid.
00:04:17.65\00:04:19.49
Psalms 5:11 says,
00:04:19.52\00:04:21.92
"But let all who
take refuge in you,
00:04:21.96\00:04:24.19
be glad.
00:04:24.23\00:04:25.56
Let them ever sing for joy.
00:04:25.59\00:04:28.16
Spread your
protection over them,
00:04:28.20\00:04:30.20
that those who love Your
name may rejoice in You."
00:04:30.23\00:04:33.74
Thank You, Lord,
for hearing my prayer.
00:04:33.77\00:04:36.07
In Jesus' name I pray.
00:04:36.10\00:04:37.77
Amen.
00:04:37.81\00:04:41.54
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:04:41.58\00:04:43.45
when we abide in You,
00:04:43.48\00:04:45.15
we are trusting
that no evil can harm us.
00:04:45.18\00:04:48.55
We are thankful
00:04:48.58\00:04:49.92
that You are our
refuge and our fortress.
00:04:49.95\00:04:52.65
You have promised to cover us
with Your wings of protection.
00:04:52.69\00:04:56.96
We need not be afraid
any time of the day or night.
00:04:56.99\00:05:01.56
Hold us close
00:05:01.60\00:05:02.93
and continue to
live in our hearts.
00:05:02.96\00:05:05.77
Thank You for the
promise to answer us
00:05:05.80\00:05:08.27
when we call upon you.
00:05:08.30\00:05:10.37
In the name of Jesus' we pray.
00:05:10.41\00:05:12.94
Amen.
00:05:12.97\00:05:14.31
I trust in God,
00:05:17.31\00:05:21.85
For, in the lion's den
00:05:21.88\00:05:27.09
On battlefield,
00:05:27.12\00:05:30.76
Or in the prison pen
00:05:30.79\00:05:34.40
Through praise or blame
00:05:37.57\00:05:41.64
Through flood or flame
00:05:41.67\00:05:45.87
My heavenly
Father Watches over me
00:05:45.91\00:05:49.61
I trust in God
00:05:55.95\00:05:59.85
I know He cares for me
00:05:59.89\00:06:05.56
On mountain bleak
00:06:05.59\00:06:09.23
Or on the stormy sea
00:06:09.26\00:06:12.63
Though billows roll,
00:06:16.10\00:06:21.14
He keeps my soul
00:06:21.18\00:06:26.05
My heavenly
Father Watches over me
00:06:26.08\00:06:30.65
The valley may be dark,
00:06:37.56\00:06:41.53
The shadows deep
00:06:41.56\00:06:44.87
But, oh, The Shepherd He guards
00:06:44.90\00:06:49.10
His lonely sheep
00:06:49.14\00:06:52.91
And through the gloom
00:06:52.94\00:06:55.44
I know He'll lead me home
00:06:55.48\00:07:00.52
My heavenly
Father Watches over me
00:07:00.55\00:07:03.92
Father, I come to You now
in the name of Your Son, Jesus.
00:07:15.73\00:07:19.40
I thank You,
Father, that You protect us
00:07:19.43\00:07:21.84
as we dwell in
Your secret place.
00:07:21.87\00:07:24.67
Father, You've promised that
00:07:24.71\00:07:26.51
we would be protected
from the noise and pestilence.
00:07:26.54\00:07:30.21
The evil that comes at night.
00:07:30.25\00:07:32.35
And even though a
thousand may fall on our side
00:07:32.38\00:07:35.68
or 10, 000 at our right hand
00:07:35.72\00:07:37.62
that no plague will
come nigh our dwelling.
00:07:37.65\00:07:41.12
We give You all the
honor and praise, Father.
00:07:41.16\00:07:44.93
We know that
Your hand is upon us.
00:07:44.96\00:07:47.36
And that we
have nothing to fear,
00:07:47.40\00:07:49.26
for in Your perfect
love that fear is cast out.
00:07:49.30\00:07:52.07
Lord, You've seen the suffering
and struggles of Your children.
00:07:55.37\00:07:59.51
You know, the trials we face
00:07:59.54\00:08:02.01
and, Lord,
00:08:02.04\00:08:03.38
Your hands are
the greatest shields
00:08:03.41\00:08:05.35
against the fiery
darts of illness, pain,
00:08:05.38\00:08:08.78
sorrow, and loss.
00:08:08.82\00:08:10.85
We know Your heart
aches for Your children
00:08:10.89\00:08:14.06
as You see them facing
this silent and scary enemy.
00:08:14.09\00:08:18.06
So, Lord, I ask that
00:08:18.09\00:08:19.83
You would place Your
loving hands of protection
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.33
over each one of us,
00:08:22.36\00:08:24.20
Your children.
00:08:24.23\00:08:25.77
Protect us from this great harm
00:08:25.80\00:08:28.34
and carry us through
this time of trouble.
00:08:28.37\00:08:31.31
Cover us, Lord,
hide us under Your wing.
00:08:31.34\00:08:34.48
Allow us to see Your
hands through this trying time.
00:08:34.51\00:08:38.45
Hold us close, Lord, I
ask in Your precious name.
00:08:38.48\00:08:42.38
Amen
00:08:42.42\00:08:43.75
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:08:46.69\00:08:48.52
thank You for
another blessed day.
00:08:48.56\00:08:51.29
Thank You because
00:08:51.33\00:08:52.66
I know You are
with me, with my family,
00:08:52.69\00:08:56.16
with the church,
00:08:56.20\00:08:57.53
especially in
this difficult time.
00:08:57.57\00:09:00.04
I come to You to
ask for Your protection
00:09:00.07\00:09:02.60
for my family, for the church,
00:09:02.64\00:09:05.87
for all the people
that are trusting in You.
00:09:05.91\00:09:09.34
We are living in a
very difficult time
00:09:09.38\00:09:11.38
and we need to know
that You are with us,
00:09:11.41\00:09:14.28
that You are protecting us,
00:09:14.32\00:09:16.02
especially from evil,
00:09:16.05\00:09:17.39
that we cannot get far from You,
00:09:17.42\00:09:20.79
but stay closer to You.
00:09:20.82\00:09:23.12
And thank You because
of the sacrifice of Jesus,
00:09:23.16\00:09:26.59
we know that You
are always with us.
00:09:26.63\00:09:29.33
Help us to go
through this difficult time,
00:09:29.36\00:09:32.00
trusting that You
are gonna be with us.
00:09:32.03\00:09:35.34
And thank You always
for Your protection, Lord.
00:09:35.37\00:09:37.97
In Jesus' name I pray.
00:09:38.01\00:09:39.41
Amen.
00:09:39.44\00:09:40.78
Isaiah 43:2 says,
00:09:46.31\00:09:48.28
"When you pass
through the waters,
00:09:48.32\00:09:50.29
I will be with you,
00:09:50.32\00:09:52.45
and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you.
00:09:52.49\00:09:56.12
When you walk through the fire,
00:09:56.16\00:09:57.63
you shall not be burned
nor shall flame scorch you."
00:09:57.66\00:10:02.90
And in 1 Corinthians 10:13,
we have the promise that says,
00:10:02.93\00:10:06.23
"No temptation has overtaken you
00:10:06.27\00:10:08.20
except such as is common to man,
00:10:08.24\00:10:10.51
but God is faithful,
00:10:10.54\00:10:13.14
who will not allow you
00:10:13.17\00:10:14.51
to be tempted
beyond what you're able,
00:10:14.54\00:10:17.15
but with the temptation
00:10:17.18\00:10:18.51
will also make the way of escape
00:10:18.55\00:10:20.85
that you may be
able to bear it."
00:10:20.88\00:10:23.08
Lord, I want to thank
You for Your protection.
00:10:23.12\00:10:26.35
Father, for the many times
00:10:26.39\00:10:27.72
that I have foolishly gone
00:10:27.76\00:10:31.26
outside of Your will
00:10:31.29\00:10:35.23
and, Lord, somehow
You have seen to it
00:10:35.26\00:10:40.34
that I was protected.
00:10:40.37\00:10:44.77
Thank You for Your protection.
Thank You for Your love.
00:10:44.81\00:10:47.18
And as a child of
God, I want to say,
00:10:47.21\00:10:50.18
God, You have been so good.
00:10:50.21\00:10:52.51
You have watched over me.
00:10:52.55\00:10:54.72
Father, we have so many requests
00:10:54.75\00:10:56.18
that are coming in.
00:10:56.22\00:10:58.82
They're praying for
jobs and for finances.
00:10:58.85\00:11:03.83
This one says,
00:11:03.86\00:11:05.19
"I lost my job.
00:11:05.23\00:11:06.56
I have a family to look after.
00:11:06.59\00:11:08.10
And two teenagers who
are still going to school
00:11:08.13\00:11:11.17
and a wife to look after."
00:11:11.20\00:11:14.70
Lord, they're
crying out for a job.
00:11:14.74\00:11:17.64
Lord, I pray for the
many who are watching,
00:11:17.67\00:11:20.41
who are in need of employment.
00:11:20.44\00:11:23.18
Lord, I pray that
You would open the doors
00:11:23.21\00:11:26.48
for them to use the
gifts that You have given them.
00:11:26.51\00:11:31.25
They are willing to work.
00:11:31.29\00:11:35.26
So, Father, I pray, God,
00:11:35.29\00:11:36.62
that You would please
00:11:36.66\00:11:38.33
create them jobs
according to Your will.
00:11:38.36\00:11:41.86
One says,
00:11:41.90\00:11:43.23
"Please pray that I
will get a situation resolved
00:11:43.26\00:11:45.17
regarding some work
that I had done at my home.
00:11:45.20\00:11:48.50
I have contacted
00:11:48.54\00:11:49.87
the business owner several times
00:11:49.90\00:11:51.41
without success.
00:11:51.44\00:11:53.81
Please pray that they
will resolve this issue
00:11:53.84\00:11:55.71
because I believe
00:11:55.74\00:11:57.08
there could be
some damage to my home
00:11:57.11\00:11:58.88
if it isn't fixed."
00:11:58.91\00:12:01.52
Lord, another situation
00:12:01.55\00:12:04.12
that we feel helpless in
00:12:04.15\00:12:06.69
and we feel it's
out of our hands.
00:12:06.72\00:12:09.46
And I just ask, God,
00:12:09.49\00:12:11.39
that You would move
on the hearts of those
00:12:11.43\00:12:14.23
who, who are doing the work.
00:12:14.26\00:12:18.70
Father, that You
would help us all
00:12:18.73\00:12:20.60
to make things right
00:12:20.64\00:12:22.27
if it's within our power to,
to make them right, Lord God.
00:12:22.30\00:12:27.88
Teach us to do the right thing.
00:12:27.91\00:12:29.41
Father, for many who
are crying out to You
00:12:32.71\00:12:35.92
for healing in their body,
00:12:35.95\00:12:40.16
for healing for cancer.
00:12:40.19\00:12:42.26
There are those who
need protection and safety.
00:12:45.89\00:12:50.23
God, there are marriages
and families that need mended.
00:12:50.27\00:12:53.87
God, only You are able to heal.
00:12:53.90\00:12:56.44
So, Father, I just
lift these people to You
00:12:59.87\00:13:01.94
and thank You, Father,
00:13:01.98\00:13:04.21
that we can trust in
You for Your protection.
00:13:04.25\00:13:06.38
Psalm 32:7 says,
00:13:10.15\00:13:12.02
"You are my hiding place.
00:13:12.05\00:13:14.19
You shall
preserve me from trouble.
00:13:14.22\00:13:17.43
You shall surround me
with songs of deliverance."
00:13:17.46\00:13:21.00
So whatever you're
going through today,
00:13:21.03\00:13:24.17
I encourage you to look to God,
00:13:24.20\00:13:27.34
to be your source of protection,
00:13:27.37\00:13:29.97
deliverance,
healing, and safety.
