God Our Protector


The power of prayer is unimaginable. Prayer is a mutual, personal and spiritual communication with God who is our creater and protector. God knows all our needs, and He has a plan for our lives, but it is our responsibility to acknowledge God's graces and works in our lives and prayer is that acknowledgement. Through prayer we are thanking God for the graces we have received in our lives and spending time in His presence. Though God knows our every needs, we are again reminded of the importance of asking for God's helping hand in our needs as Jesus says in Mathew 7:7, "Ask and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you."
Again Jesus says, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Mathew 21:22). So we need to pray as it is the time for us to be with God in spirit.
The prayer for God's protection in Psalm 91, is very important in the lives of many people. People have experienced the powerful hands of God's protection every time they said this prayer before anything they do. The devil is looking for an opportunity to ruin the lives of men. This powerful prayer will keep the devil away and destroy all his plans, as God protects us in His palms.

Psalm 91 GOD OUR PROTECTOR
Whoever goes to the Lord for safery, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, can say to Him, "You are my defenderr and protector. You are my God; in You I trust." He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. He will cover you with His wings; you will be safe in His care; His faithfulness will protect and defend you. You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight. A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you, but you will not be harmed. You will look and see how the wicked are punished. You have made the Lord your defender, the Most High your protector, and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home. God will put His angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hand to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones. You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes. God says, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord. When they call to me I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them. I will reward them with long life; I will save them."

Dear friends, what a wonderful God we have. We need to be always thankful to Him for His protection and blessings in our lives. Thanks be to God.
