"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23:4
Dear God, thank you for waking me up this morning; and thank you for providing everything I need to get this day going. I'm in my right mind (or so I like to think), I have activity of all of my limbs and all of my basic needs are being met. Thank you. Unfortunately God, I am approaching your throne again today because there is something lingering in my spirit.
I honestly don't know what it is or why it won't go away but please believe me when I say, I won't let go. I won't let go of my source of strength, my joy in sadness, my light in darkness; literally, my everything. I'm genuinely confused God because the last time you and I had an issue like this you fought the fight, I won the battle; and the blessings left me speechless.
Therefore God, I can not afford to allow whatever this is to reign in my life. I rebuke the spirit of heaviness, I rebuke the spirit of depression, I rebuke the spirit of loneliness, I rebuke the spirit of anxiety; and I rebuke the spirit of whatever Satan is going to try next, by keeping my head up.
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." Psalm 121
God, I will not forget what you have already done for me. I will not give up on the promise you made to me; and I will not forget the prophecy of the promise that was confirmed to me. I will not go back to what has been so familiar to me. Instead, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14
Thank you for loving me God and thank you for comforting me. Life can get so hard that sometimes I feel like giving up. But I know that quitters are not of Christ. I have been here before God and I know just like you were there for the three Hebrew boys, you were, you are and you always will be here for me.
As I continue to move forward in this day. I am reminded of the scripture (John 14:1) that literally just dropped into my heart."Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me"(God I believe) and John 14:26-31, "These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence."
In Jesus name, Amen!
