Psalm 91

What stood out today:
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.

My response: Father, I feel like I should be doing better with the trials. I don’t feel like I am resting in you, your shadow. I am not sleeping soundly. I do wake up with fear in the middle of the night. Jesus you know all about everything - you were tempted in every way that I am. Will you show me how to walk this season of strain with poise and grace? Will you show me how to float in the river of the Spirit, how to surrender to His direction and flow? Holy Spirit, lead me into the Jesus zone. Help me dwell in the shelter of the Most High. Would you set my heart free to love and receive love with reckless abandon? May I be open and completely vulnerable to you Jesus, may I learn how to be that deeply trusting. May I be transformed “to the fullness of Christ?” Ephesians 4:13 O God… I want You!!!
