Need a Reminder? I do!

Psalm 3:3-4, 8 "But You are a shield around me, O Lord, my Glorious One, who lifts up my head.  To the Lord I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy hill...From the Lord comes deliverance.  May Your blessing be on Your people."
 
I know sometimes I seem to be going back to the same type of message over and over...I do worry about sounding like a broken record.  However, then I think if I need to be reminded constantly that God is our deliverance, our shield and He is always with us through it all, then maybe {hopefully} you do not get tired of reading this...hopefully, you need to be reminded of this as well.  I think that is part of why it is said so many places and so many ways throughout His precious Word because He knows we are "weak" and in need of His help and His comforting presence.  I know too often a lot of us try to take on the world on our own and compared to us alone it's a big world and it can become quickly overwhelming.  But when we rely on our God, when we tell our problem, situation, etc. how big our God is and let Him take care of the rest than we can focus our energy on Him and on listening to Him for the right direction for our lives.  God will lift up our heads and bless us beyond our imaginations if we do not limit Him by having faith only in ourselves.  Please pray with me:
Dear Lord,
We know You will and do deliver us from all we encounter according to Your will.  We also know in our hearts that Your are always with us no matter where we go and no matter what we are going through.  Please continue to remind us that You will answer us, lift us up and bless us.  Father we continually thank and praise You for our clergy. We ask that You may please keep them in Your blessing that they may continue to rightly teach us Your Word.  God we also ask that You please grant Your extraordinary protection and supernatural blessings to our service men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect us from those who would harm us...please grant that Your favormay go before them and completely surround them daily.  Lord, we are fully aware that Your healing is the true and only healing that we need.  We've come to realize there are many who we love and cherish that are in special need of Your miraculous healing hand for physical, emotional and spiritual healing.  We come to You today and ask that You may grant Your healing to Summer, Sharon, Melissa, Morgan, Phyllis, Carolyn, Randy, Emily, Brenda, Sheila, Mr & Mrs Jones, Darlene, Brandy's Mom, Nancy, Fran, Rob, Cathy, Alex, Melissa, Benjamin, The Wood family and all those who we individually name to you now...  Please wrap them each in a Spiritual hug of Your comfort and peace.  Finally, we lift up to You Mike, Deanna and Lauren and ask that You please grant Mike & Deanna peace and hope as they await Lauren's birth and also please grant Lauren a safe arrival and a healthy, long life devoted to You.  We ask all these things may be done yet not according to our wants but according to Your will.  In Jesus name.  Amen. 
Have a blessed week ahead!
Love through Christ,
Niki
