How to Face Scary and Uncertain Times Using Psalm 91

by

And How To Access the Antidote to Fear

Dear Zikora,

How are you today?

With today’s entry, I hope that “afraid” will not be among one of the feelings you have. Today’s reading will bring you calm and assurance that your protection is guaranteed. It will also give you an answer to questions like “What’s in it for me as a Christian?”.

Psalm 91 outlines the wonderful benefits God assures us are ours because we maintain a deep, intimate, and trusting relationship with him. Check out this blog post for how to create this kind of relationship with God: How to Have a Close and Strong Relationship with God.

Read this post for how to maintain it: Psalm 81: How to Preserve Our Relationship with God and Ensure a Soft Godly life

Psalm 91 is quite specific in the way it speaks to our promises from God. It emphasizes that these promises are for those who “dwells” in the Lord. Take a look:

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the Shadow of the almighty”…Psalm 91 vs 1.

This means that, these promises are for those who choose to have a constant close relationship with God. It is for those who make God their top priority. Psalm 91 further breaks down these promises in 3 parts. By specifying the rewards and assurances that are inherently ours in three parts, the importance of the intentional ways we must be with God are emphasized. To be clear, God’s promises are available to us, however, knowing exactly how to get to them gives us confidence, and ensures that we actually enjoy and utilize them.

Now that you have chosen to dwell in the lord, here are the promises you have in God in three parts:

1) Promises For Those Who Intentionally Trust and Commit their Ways To God:

Intentionally trusting God is crucial and gives us audacity and confidence to face any fear. Plus, it is backed up by many promises. Here are some of the promises in a direct quote:

Psalm 91 vs 2-8:

“I will say to the Lord, My refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust;

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, not the arrow that flies by day; nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destructions that wastes at noon-day.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked”.

2) Promises for Those Who Intentionally Choose God:

With God, you have to be intentional. You have to deliberately choose God in all you do. This is the freedom that the love of God affords you. God does not force you to choose him, or to choose to do his will. You have the free will to do whatever you want, however, choosing God is the best decision you can ever make. If you choose to remain in God’s camp, here is the reward for you in a direct quote from Psalm 91 vs 9-13:

“Because You have made the Lord your dwelling place- the most high, who is my refuge- no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.

For he [God] will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot”.

This particular portion is loaded with so much promise for you to walk in boldness and have no fear or anxiety. I want you to memorize this portion because it will be your antidote for scary times or days when you are frightened but need to show up with boldness.

3) Promises for Those Who Intentionally Know and Love God:

Loving God is our first great commandment. It is the first step in your journey as a Christian. See this post: Why Love is Non-Negotiable

Here is your reward in a direct quote from Psalm 91 vs 14-16:

“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;

I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With Long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation”

After reading the above portion, what more do you need, eh? What more incentive do you require? As a child of God, there is a lot of benefit for you. I hope you remember Psalm 91 whenever you start to be afraid of what the world is becoming.

Before you go, remember that if you feel that you do not get to partake in these promises because of your sin, please ask God to forgive you of your sins and truly repent of them (that is, don’t deliberately repeat those sins). Loving God and doing God’s will is a daily conscious effort. God sees your heart and knows your intentions, so don’t let guilt rob you of your boldness and rights in God.

Prayer:

Dear God, thank you so much for the gift of Psalm 91 in this scary and trying times. Thank you that I get to live each day knowing that your protection is guaranteed. I thank you so much for your patience with me as I get to know more about you and your love for me. You are worthy of my praise Lord. Help me to always remember Psalm 91 and to operate from a place of confidence and not fear as I go about my daily activities. Thank you oh Lord my King. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus name. Amen.

How to Have a Close and Strong Relationship with God.

by

Dear Zikora,

Want to have a soft life? Have a strong relationship with God! Do you want to know the best part? God also desires to have a close and strong relationship with you! Here is a supporting quote: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5 vs 8. God has always desired a close and strong relationship with us and that is why he sent Jesus (his son) to remove all barriers. This does not mean that your life will be without any challenges, instead, it means, you will navigate those challenges with ease and help from God.

So how do we develop a close and strong relationship with God intentionally? Here are a few detailed steps on how to:

1) Know God:

Know God’s character, his qualities, his instructions and commands. Know God for yourself. It is easier to love and trust God once you know and experience God for yourself. How to know God? Read his word which is the Bible. In fact, study the Bible to understand what is being said to you. The Bible is God’s love letter to you, open it and read. That said, with every chapter we explore, you will continue to learn more about the character of God.

I want you to start understanding God’s character with every chapter of the Bible that you read. How to do this is by asking yourself after each reading; what is God trying to convey here? What underlining character does this emphasize?

2) Love God:

Honor God, let the love of God guide your every move and decision. Loving God is God’s first and great command to us. Here is the quote from the bible depicting the interaction between a Pharisee lawyer and Jesus, and Jesus’s reply to the lawyer’s question:

“And one of them, a lawyer asked him a question to test him. Teacher which is the great commandment in the law?” And he [Jesus] said to him, You shall love the lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment” …Matthew22 vs 35-38.

Make no mistakes, God commands us to love him, and this is how to love him: “If you love me, keep [obey] my commands”…John 14 vs 15.

For more on loving God, Read Why Love is Non-Negotiable:

3) Listen and Obey God:

For God’s word to be beneficial to you, you must obey God’s words and commands. There is an old hymn that goes “trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus”. The words in that hymn is true.

Here is a direct quote: “Whoever has my commands and keeps [obeys] them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my father, and I too will love them and manifest myself to them”…John 14 vs 21.

Furthermore, in the Bible, Samuel, a leader in the old testament of the Bible cautions and reminds us of the importance of obeying God in this way: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifice, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams”…. 1 Samuel 15 vs 22.

Here is yet another supporting quote:

“But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in the mirror. for he looks intently at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like”…James 1 vs 22-24.

4) Fear God:

This means that you should be in awe of God and all that he has done. Don’t mock God. In addition, don’t take God’s love and grace for granted. Do things because you fear and respect God’s authority. Fearing God is an essential tool you need to navigate this world. The Proverbs puts it this way: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”…Proverbs 1 vs 7.

5) Let God be your First Priority:

Put God first in all things. Let him be your confidante, your first point of call in every issue, your all and all, your safe space, your landing, and hiding place. This is also the first commandment God gave to his people in Exodus 20 vs 3-4: “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth”.

6) Believe, Have Faith and Trust God:

If God made a promise to you in his word, trust me, that promise will come to fruition if you believe it. There is so much evidence of this in the Bible to support this. So just know, at the right time, it will happen for you. God has your best interest and knows every single thing about you. He has so much power and has offered you protection, guidance and love. For encouragement, here is a supporting quote for you: “Those who put their trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion which cannot be moved but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth, and forever more”… Psalm 125 vs 1-2.  

Here is another quote: “For the scripture says, anyone who believes in me [God] will not be put to shame”… Romans 10 vs 11.

That said, believing and having faith in God is crucial. Remember, “And without faith, it is impossible to please him [God], for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him”…Hebrews 11 vs 6.

It is important to note that sometimes waiting is how we show that we have faith, believe, trust, and obey God. Sometimes the wait seems long, however the wait is always worth it. God encourages us here: “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint”…Isaiah 40 vs 31.

7) Verbally Declare your Believe in God:

This is self explanatory and here is how the Bible puts it: “Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved”…Romans 10 vs 9-10.

Note: For anyone who has stumbled upon this page and is wondering how to be saved or how to become a child of God… Read Romans chapter 10. Blog post coming soon..

8) Make your Body and Life God’s home:

Making your body, your heart and soul conducive for the holy spirit to dwell ensures that God always dwells in you and you dwell in him. Pay attention to what you consume. This entails both physical food, and mental/emotional food such as social media, movies, conversations, etc. This is how the Bible puts it:  “Or do you not know your body is the temple of the holy spirit within you, whom you have from God?, You are not your own, for you have been bought with a price. So glorify God in your body…1 Corinthians 6 vs 19-20.

9) Talk to God:

This is done through prayer. By praying to God constantly, and about everything, you will find that your relationship will deepen more and more. Prayer is not just for asking for requests, it is also a way we commune with and confide in God, seek God’s help in fighting our battles, and maintain our relationship with him. Prayer and maintaining a prayerful life and attitude is a really important key in our walk with God. So pray, talk to God about anything, and everything, at all times.

The Bible encourages us to “Pray without ceasing”….1 Thessalonians 5 vs 17.

Summary:

Now that you know how to have a strong and close relationship with God, you must maintain and protect this relationship. Maintaining your relationship with God is crucial because this world would always try to be a distraction. The forces of this world will constantly try to ruin our relationship with God. The Bible warns us: “Be sober-minded, your adversary, the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” …1 Peter 5 vs 8.  To learn how to maintain your relationship with God, read this blog post: Psalm 81: How to Preserve Our Relationship with God and Ensure a Soft Godly life

Prayer:

Dear God, thank you so much for the way you continue to teach me. I love that you continue to guide me and show me how to be close to you. Please help me to not be just a hearer, but to be a doer of your words. Help me to practice and choose every day to have a close relationship with you. Help me for I cannot do it on my own power alone. I thank you because I know you have heard me. I thank you because I know you can do exceedingly abundantly all that I ask and pray. I pray all these in Jesus name. Amen.

Psalm 81: How to Preserve Our Relationship with God and Ensure a Soft Godly life

by

Dear Zikora:

This chapter is a good follow up for the last entry: How To Navigate Life Like a Pro..

As with everything, maintenance is how you ensure that things not only last, but keep running smoothly. Today’s reading is a warning in form of reminders on how to protect and preserve our relationship with God. It is also a guide on how we can continue to enjoy God’s provisions and promises. Here is the step by step how to from Psalm 81.

1) Praise God Always:

This chapter opens with a command to praise God. The first three verses gives us exact ways in which we are to praise God. They include:  in loud, obvious, demonstrative, celebratory, joyful ways, and using music. Here is the direct quote:

“Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob!”-verse 1

“Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp”-verse 2

“Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day”- verse 3

It should be noted that praising God is not a polite recommendation. It is a command from God, a statute as it is written in verse 4-5a:

“For it is a statute for Israel; A rule of the God of Jacob”.

“He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt” … Psalm 81 vs 4-5a.

2) Remember the Miracles of God in Your Life:

Always recall the works of God in your life; this helps you to stay grateful and in love with God. It also strengthens your faith in God and gives you confidence to face different challenges. Check out this post: How to Cure Chronic Anxiety: Looking back in Gratitude to Face the Future with Confidence-.

 In verse 5b-7, God even reminds his people that God does not forget the miraculous deeds he does for his people, and he wants us to remember them as well. That is what the verse below means:

“I hear a language I had not known: I relieved your shoulders of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket”.

“In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah”…Psalm 81 vs 5b-7.

It is important to remember always what God does for us because God does not forget either. Forgetfulness of God’s faithfulness in our lives is one of the tools that the devil uses to instill fear and anxiety in our lives. Be wise, stay alert.

3) Listen to God’s words and Avoid idols and false gods:

God should always be our top priority and God should be first in our lives. God is always vocal and reminding us in several instances to stay away from idols (it is also one of the 10 commandments we must abide by). I think the reason for these constant reminders to avoid idols is because it is very easy to have an idol or idols. An idol can be a distraction that takes up most of our time and diverts our attention from God. This can be in the form of our jobs, relationships, money, our habits, fantasies we indulge in, our favorite thoughts etc. God seriously warns us to not bow down, that is, do not give in to things that threaten to take God’s place in our lives. We should only bow to God almighty, and here is how God puts it:

“ Hear O my people, while I admonish you!

“O Isreal, if you would but listen to me!”

“There shall be no strange god among you;”

“you shall not bow down to a foreign god”…Psalm 81 vs 8-9.

God is sufficient and will fulfill all our needs abundantly, so we do not need any idols. Here is how God puts it:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth and I will fill it”…Psalm 81 vs 10.

4) Listen to God’s words, Submit and Walk in God’s way:

Similarly to the point above, God doesn’t just warn and admonish us to listen to his words, he also presents us with the rewards of doing so and the punishment for not doing so. In a nutshell, listen to God’s word and be sure to obey it. I have lived a life where I did both (listened to God’s word and not listening to God’s word) and I can tell you, listening and obeying God’s words is far better. I got so much heartache and pain from disobeying God’s word. I tell you with so much certainty that disobeying God is definitely not worth it. Don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise. And no, God won’t change his commandments just for you. Here is the punishment for when we refuse to listen to God’s words:

“But my people did not listen to my voice; Isreal would not submit to me.

“So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels”…psalm 81 vs 11-12.

I will tell you for free, when you get to live life exactly how your mind tells you, you are in trouble and it never ends well.

On the other hand, here is the reward for when we listen and submit to God’s words and ways:

“Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Isreal would walk in my ways!

“I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes”…Psalm 81 vs 13-14.

SUMMARY:

In summary, love God always. Loving God makes Praising,  listening, obeying and submitting to him very easy. There is great reward for doing so and it is the best way to sustain your relationship with God. It is also the best way to ensure that your life goes smoothly (aka living a soft life). Choosing to do life any other way is foolishness and you would be doing yourself a great disservice. Here is how God puts it:

“Those who hate the lord would cringe toward him, and their fate would last forever”…Psalm 81 vs 15.

“But he would feed you [those who love God] with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you”…Psalm 81 vs 16.

So bottom line:  Love and Praise God, pay attention, listen, understand, submit, and obey God’s words! There is a reward from God if we do!.

PRAYER:

Dear God, thank you so much for loving me dearly that you constantly remind me of ways to please you. Please help me to completely submit to you in all ways. Make it easy for me to remember your commands and obey them without grumbling. Thank you, my king, because I know you have heard my prayers. I praise you because I know you will do exceedingly abundantly all that I have asked in this prayer. In Jesus name, Amen.

How To Navigate Life Like a Pro.

The Step by Step process using Proverbs Chapter 4!

Dear Zikora,

The proverbs is full of brilliant lessons and it is one of my favorite books in the Bible. If you ever have questions on how to navigate any situation, pick up the book of proverbs and apply its foundational principles!

This chapter emphasizes the importance of wisdom and insight. These two qualities help us understand how to relate to people, things, and ourselves. It also helps us move forward and thrive in any situation. Lets get into the step by step how to:

1) Know the Word of God and Practice it Always:

First things first, God created the world (Genesis 1 vs 1), so if you want to know how to live in the world God created, you must know, understand, and practice the guidelines stipulated in God’s words (the Bible). Think about it this way, what do you do when you buy an electrical gadget or toy? You first read the manufacturer’s manual to know how to utilize that gadget or toy properly!. Thus, knowing the word of God is the upper hand you need as it helps you navigate the world and, directs you on how to respond to every situation.

 Proverbs 4 vs 3-4 puts it this way:

 “When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in sight of my mother, he taught me and said to me”;

 “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments and live” ….Proverbs 4 vs 3-4.

So how do you know the word of God? By reading and meditating on the Bible day and night, always thinking deeply about the words you’ve read. This helps you understand God’s instructions and commandments. It helps you to always be ready to execute and answer any situation correctly. This is also how you increase and maintain wisdom and insight. Here is how God wants you to do it:

“My son, be attentive to my words” ;

“Incline your ear to my sayings”.

“Let them not escape from your sight; Keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh”…Proverbs 4 vs 20-22.

Here is another quote:

“Keep this book of law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful” : Joshua 1 vs 8.

2) Be Attentive and Obedient to God’s Words:  

Now that you know the word of God, Trust what it says (Trust God). Make sure to pay close attention to what it says and carefully obey it. There will be many doctrines circulating as you go through life, but remember, only the word of God, as found in the Bible, is what you should listen to. So, when faced with a situation, only do what God commands or instructs to do regarding that situation.

“Hear, O sons, a father’s instructions and be attentive, that you may gain insight, for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching”…Proverbs 4 vs 1-2.

Furthermore,

“Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many”

“I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness”.

“When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble”

“Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her for she is your life” …Proverbs 4 vs 10-13.

3) Practice Wisdom and Insight:

Wisdom means having great knowledge and good judgement. Insight means to have a deep understanding of situations and people. Proverbs 4 vs 5-9 explains the importance of having these two qualities in this way:

“Get wisdom, get insight”

“Do not forget, do not turn away from the words of my mouth”.

“Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you”

“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get Wisdom”

“And whatever you get, get insight” .

“Prize her highly and she will exalt you”

“She will honor you if you embrace her”

“She will place on your head a graceful garland”

“She will bestow you a beautiful crown”…Proverbs 4 vs 5-9.

 How do you get wisdom and insight? It’s simple! You get wisdom and insight by doing step 1 and 2 above: Knowing the commandments and word of God and doing the commandments and word of God. Remember, the Bible makes it clear that “the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom; fools despise wisdom and instruction” Proverbs 1 vs 7.

All these goes to say: the word of God gives us wisdom and insight into the way the world works. It offers us protection, guards us, helps us, heals us, and gives us an upper hand.

Furthermore, adhering to the word of God makes our lives easier to live and removes the anxiety from it.

To summarize:  

Use the word of God to guard your heart, meditate on it daily, when you are alone and even when you are with others. Think about it, reflect on it. Always cross reference your words and actions with the word of God before executing any action or saying any word. This means, pause (to think about what the word of God recommends in that scenario) before executing.

4) Intentionally Avoid Evil:

“Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil”…Proverbs 4 vs 26-27.

Do not participate in anything immoral, evil, harmful, or bad according to God’s standards. This also means that you do not befriend the wicked, do not want them to notice you. Do not walk in the same path or area as them. Do not mingle with the wicked, do not be wicked. Do not intentionally want people to fail or stumble. Do not intentionally cause people to stumble or fail. Do not devise means directly or indirectly to be evil. Do not be a hindrance to other people’s success. I think you get where this is going. So, no matter how enticing it might be to partake in evil, always choose righteousness as this is God’s clear instructions according to Proverbs 4 vs 14-17:

“Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil.

“Avoid it; do not go on it; Turn away from it and pass on”.

“For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble. For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence”

When it comes to navigating life, always choose the morally right thing to do. It is the wise thing to do, and you cannot go wrong because according to Proverbs 4 vs 18-19:

“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day”.

“The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.”

5) Be Mindful of Your Thoughts and Thinking Process:

“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life”…Proverbs 4 vs 23.

What do you think about in your mind? Why do you think those things? In order to make the best out of life, you need to understand what you are always thinking about, and what is motivating your thoughts. You should be intentional about the thoughts you allow linger in your mind. Guard your heart and mind from things such as malice, evil, jealousy etc., as these things corrupt you and they directly impact you, your actions, your speech, and your outcomes in negative ways. You should only be thinking on what is: “True, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things” (Philippians 4 vs 8).

6) Pause and Think Before You Speak:

 In the same vein as step 5 above, watch the way you speak and the things you say. It is related to step 5 because your thoughts dictate your speech as well as your entire personality. (“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23 vs 7).This is a very important aspect of having wisdom, insight and understanding. Pay attention to your tone, your manner of speech, the content of your speech, and your body language as it includes a lot of things that you are saying but don’t say verbally. When you speak, speak the truth. Don’t try to deceive people with your words. Here is a direct quote:

“Put away from you crooked speech and put devious talk far from you”…Proverbs 4 vs 24.

Remember, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits”…Proverbs 18 vs 21.

So be very careful about the things you say and how you say it, both to yourself and to others. Speak life and love into yourself and into every situation always.

7) Focus, Think Things Through, and Don’t be Easily Distracted:  

“Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you”

“Ponder the path of your feet, then all your ways will be sure”. – Proverbs 4 vs 25-26.

In Life, you will experience lots of distractions and conflicts, however, stay focused. Whatever it is you want to do, first check that it is in line with God’s word, pray about it and then execute. Stop being distracted by fantasies, what other people are doing, or random thoughts. If you get tired rest, and then keep going. Don’t loose your focus, be Strategic. Don’t try to “wing” things. Be thoughtful and carefully consider your plans or actions  before you execute them. Pay attention to what it is you want to achieve in life, what would it require, how would you gather what it takes? How would you cope in the process etc. Don’t just go in willy nilly. This is important because things take time and cost resources. Similarly, if things are not done properly or not well thought out, you would have wasted your time and resources while achieving mediocre results. Thinking things through allows you to be strategic and patient and give each endeavor the proper amount of time and resources it needs to become fruitful. It does not mean to aim for perfection before attempting any endeavor, however, you should be aware of certain factors involved before taking on or trying out serious projects.  

In summary, focus! Run everything  by what the word of God says and pray, committing it to God first. This is how you will know if it is in line with God’s word and will. After you have done this, execute without overthinking. Execute with clarity and confidence. Do not look to see what others are doing and be distracted or discouraged by it. Once you have decided and spoken to God about it, Execute. If God is with you, and it is the right time, you will succeed. Check out this blog post for more: How to make a decision and other lessons

Prayer:

Thank you Jesus for your word to me today. Please help me to learn, to be attentive, to meditate, and to abide by your words. Help me to gain the wisdom and insight that it holds. Help me to practice it daily and answer every situation correctly. Help me to guard my heart and mind, and heal me, in Jesus name, Amen. Thank you, Jesus because I know you have heard and answered my prayer!
