But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
Arise, Lord!
Deliver me, my God!
---- mine,
Take heart. I, the Bridegroom of your soul, assure you today and every day that I AM a shield around you. I AM your strong tower. A rampart of love surrounds you, ensuring that the Enemy shall not prevail against you. I hear your prayers and your sighs. I have collected your tears. I will answer, and your heart will rejoice and be glad. I AM with you always in the beat of your heart. In the breath you breathe. In your pulse. In your veins. In your bones and marrow. I possess you, you are Mine, and I delight in you. Fear nothing ---- my own, fear has no place in the heart, mind, and life of those whom I have called by name. Your name is written on the palm of My hand, and no one can snatch from Me what is mine. Rejoice! Give thanks! Praise My Name with every breath you breathe. Worship Me in all you say and do, and you will discover the joy of living in My Presence in all circumstances, joy that no one can steal from you. Live in such a way that all who see you see Me living in you, and they too will desire to possess Me and be possessed by Me.
