God Promises To Be Our Rock And Fortress! – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi Oshinowo

Let us look into praying the psalmists’ prayers in Psalm 31 over ourselves.

🙏🏾 In You, O Lord, I have placed my trust and taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed( i.e., have my expectation in Your goodness be disappointed)

🙏🏾 Father, in Your righteousness, rescue me.

🙏🏾 Incline Your ear to me, deliver me quickly;

🙏🏾 Be my rock of refuge, and a strong fortress to save me. Yes, You are my rock and my fortress;

🙏🏾 Lord, For Your name’s sake, you will lead me and guide me.

🙏🏾 Lord, You will draw me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me,

🙏🏾 For You, Jesus, are my strength and my stronghold.

🙏🏾 Into Your hand, I commit my spirit.

🙏🏾 You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness. [Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59]”

‭‭ 🙏🏾 I trust in the Lord [and rely on Him with unwavering confidence]. I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love,

🙏🏾 Because You have seen my affliction; You have taken note of my life’s distresses, And You have not given me into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

🙏🏾 Be gracious and compassionate to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul, and my body also.

🙏🏾 For I have heard the slander and whispering of many, Terror is on every side; While they schemed together against me, They plotted to take away my life. [Jer 20:10]

🙏🏾 As for me, I trust [confidently] in You and Your greatness,

🙏🏾 O Lord; I said, “You are my God.” My times are in Your hands; Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue and persecute me.

🙏🏾 God, please make Your face shine upon Your servant;

🙏🏾 Save me in Your lovingkindness.

🙏🏾 Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on You;

🙏🏾 Let the wicked (godless) be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

🙏🏾 Let the lying lips against me be mute, which speak insolently and arrogantly against the [consistently] righteous with pride and contempt.

🙏🏾 How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who [reverently] fear You, Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of man!

🙏🏾 In the secret place of Your presence, You hide them from the plots and conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter (pavilion) from the strife of tongues.”

🙏🏾 I trust [confidently] in You and Your greatness, O Lord; I said, “You are my God.” My times are in Your hands;

🙏🏾 Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue and persecute me.

🙏🏾Thank You, Lord, for hearing and answering our prayers.

Abide with us and guide us each and every day. In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen 🙏🏾

Have a blessed day ❤️
