THE PRAYER BEE

“But You Lord are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high”   Psalm 3.3    NIV
David was king of Israel when he wrote Psalm 3, a thousand years before Jesus came to earth. David’s son Absalom wanted the throne for himself so he attacked his father causing him to hide in the desert east of the River Jordan. In this Psalm David looks to God for protection from his enemies with the same confidence that he experienced as a young man when he battled the giant Goliath.
When God is our shield He totally surrounds us so nothing can touch our lives unless He lets it through. God is our shield, our glory and our hope.
 
He replaces our anxiety with peace, something we all desire. He will sustain us in the most difficult times and trials of our lives. Jesus brings us peace in the midst of the storm. Our faith in Him may guard us when doubts come and our belief is questioned. It protects us when we fear and are anxious.
 
God may not answer our prayers in the way we desire but He will respond in a way that is best for us, working out His purpose and plan for our lives. By trusting in Him  continually we will feel sheltered from life’s storms in a way that will lessen the blow.
As we look back on our own lives may we, like David, see God’s intervention that will renew our confidence and strengthen our faith.
 
PRAYER     
 Lord God
Thank You that You are a shield of protection around us and the lifter of our head.
Thank You that You know all that is happening in each of our lives and are always there with us through Jesus Christ
 
 AMEN
