1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,520
Before we pray, let me read 
Psalm 91 to you. 

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,120
He who dwells in the secret 
place of the Most High shall 

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,400
abide under the shadow of the 
Almighty. 

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:16,880
I will say of the Lord, He is my
refuge and my fortress, my God. 

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,000
In him I will trust. 
Surely He shall deliver you from

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,480
the snare of the Fowler and from
the perilous pestilence. 

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,320
He shall cover you with his 
feathers, and under his wings 

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,040
you shall take refuge. 
His truth shall be your shield 

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,400
and buckler. 
You shall not be afraid of the 

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:45,440
terror by night, nor of the 
arrow that flies by day, nor of 

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,960
the pestilence that walks in 
darkness, nor of the destruction

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:57,840
that lays waste at noonday. 1000
may fall at your side and 10,000

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,400
at your right hand, but it shall
not come near you. 

14
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Only with your eyes shall you 
look and see the reward of the 

15
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:15,280
wicked, because you have made 
the Lord who is my refuge, even 

16
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,520
the Most High your dwelling 
place. 

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,400
No evil shall befall you, nor 
shall any plague come near your 

18
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,400
dwelling. 
That He shall give His angels 

19
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,680
charge over you to keep you in 
all your ways. 

20
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,160
In their hands they shall bear 
you up, lest you dash your foot 

21
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,680
against a stone. 
You shall tread upon the lion 

22
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,680
and the cobra. 
The young lion and the serpent 

23
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:50,800
you shall trample under foot. 
Because He has set His love upon

24
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,800
me, therefore I will deliver 
him. 

25
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,440
I will set him on high. 
Because he has known my name. 

26
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,840
He shall call upon me and I will
answer him. 

27
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,800
I will be with him in trouble. 
I will deliver him and honour 

28
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,160
him with long life. 
I will satisfy him and show him 

29
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:23,240
my salvation. 
Father God, we come before you 

30
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,920
right now, some of us with great
care, some of us with great 

31
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,720
fear, and some of us with great 
trouble. 

32
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,680
We do not know what the next few
days, weeks, months, or years 

33
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,520
will hold, but we know that you 
know the future. 

34
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,080
And so we bow before you, the 
Lord of Lords and the King of 

35
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,600
Kings, the Most High God. 
And we ask that you, O God, 

36
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,720
would incline your ear to our 
prayer as we meditate on Psalm 

37
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,400
91. 
As we read, he who dwells in the

38
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,320
secret place of the Most High 
shall abide under the shadow of 

39
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,280
the Almighty. 
Oh God, we are reminded that 

40
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,200
there is a special blessing. 
There is a special protection 

41
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,440
for all those who would hide 
themselves in You, the Most High

42
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,640
God, we thank you that there is 
no safer place in the entire 

43
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,240
universe than under the shadow 
of your wings. 

44
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,240
There is safety, there is peace,
there is rest when we hide 

45
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,240
ourselves in You. 
Father, as verse 2 says, I will 

46
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,720
save the Lord. 
He is my refuge and my fortress,

47
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,040
my God. 
In him I will trust. 

48
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Oh Lord, I pray that we wouldn't
just say, God, you are a refuge,

49
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,520
but that every single one of us 
would be able to say that you 

50
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,880
are my refuge. 
I can rest in you. 

51
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,160
I know that you are mine. 
I am yours and you are mine. 

52
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,640
You are my God. 
You sent your son to die on that

53
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,520
cross to redeem me. 
And now, Lord God, you are my 

54
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,760
fortress. 
Lord, help us never to run to 

55
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,839
men. 
Help us to never run to human 

56
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,920
strength and think that safety 
is there, but help us to always 

57
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,880
run to you first and foremost. 
Help us to run to you, for you 

58
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,440
are a fortress. 
And help us to tell the whole 

59
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,120
world. 
Help us never to be ashamed of 

60
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,160
you. 
Help us to always tell people 

61
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,160
that we trust in you as our 
refuge. 

62
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,000
Even when the world laughs at 
us, even when they scoff. 

63
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Let us never be ashamed to say 
that I put my trust in the Lord 

64
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,880
God, Jehovah Jireh. 
The Lord will provide, and that 

65
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,840
provision includes protection. 
As we read verse 3, Surely he 

66
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,720
shall deliver you from the snare
of the Fowler and from the 

67
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,280
perilous pestilence. 
Lord, we're reminded that we 

68
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,840
have an adversary. 
We have an enemy who is prowling

69
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,840
around like a a lion, seeking 
who he might devour. 

70
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,600
Lords, we know that it is tough 
to be a Christian in this world.

71
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,680
We know that it is tough to make
a stand for the Lord Jesus 

72
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,000
Christ. 
But help us to remember again 

73
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,760
that there is protection to be 
found in you. 

74
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,960
You, God will keep us. 
Lord, you will not put anything 

75
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240
in our path. 
You will not put anything in our

76
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,160
life that is too big for us. 
You've promised that in your 

77
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,840
word. 
So Lord, I pray that each of us 

78
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,560
would trust in that and we would
be wary of the schemes of the 

79
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,000
devil. 
And we remember that to be with 

80
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,520
you is far better than anything 
that this world can offer. 

81
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,200
That anything that might look in
that moment to be exciting, help

82
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,280
us to run from it. 
Help us to flee from it. 

83
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,760
And help us to be wary of all 
the tricks and schemes of the 

84
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,040
evil one who would love to bring
us down and to ruin our witness 

85
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,360
and our joy in the Lord Jesus 
Christ. 

86
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:13,720
Your word says he shall cover 
you with his feathers, and under

87
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,200
his wings you shall take refuge.
His truth shall be your shield 

88
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,760
and buckler. 
When I read that, Lord, I'm 

89
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,960
reminded of your Son the Lord 
Jesus Christ, who said, O 

90
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,880
Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, how I 
would have gathered you as a hen

91
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,320
gathers its chicks. 
Just like Jesus wanted to wrap 

92
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,560
his arms around the city of 
Jerusalem, and yet they were not

93
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,600
willing. 
Lord, you have your arms there, 

94
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,600
You have your wings, and you are
willing to wrap us around in 

95
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,680
safety, in love. 
And yet so often we go and we 

96
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,200
run into the wings of other 
people, the wings of other 

97
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,960
things. 
Lord, let that never be said of 

98
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,040
us. 
Let us hide in you. 

99
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Let us remember that you are a 
shield, You are protection, and 

100
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,280
You will keep us safe as long as
we stay near you and close to 

101
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,720
you. 
Lord, help us to draw close to 

102
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,640
you that you might draw close to
us also. 

103
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Verse 5 says you shall not be 
afraid of the terror by night, 

104
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,040
nor of the arrow that flies by 
day. 

105
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Thank you God for this promise. 
Lord, in the day, perhaps we 

106
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,280
have many, many fears. 
People who scare us, situations 

107
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200
that scare us, things that we 
dread. 

108
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,040
Lord, thank you that you are 
promising us we do not need to 

109
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,960
fear. 
You are promising us that we can

110
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,880
have an inner peace if we're 
near to you. 

111
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,520
Thank you that even in the 
night, oh, in the night, Lord, 

112
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,200
when some of us lay awake with 
trouble upon trouble, our minds 

113
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,840
get no rest. 
Thank You that if we call on 

114
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:05,560
your name, if we fix our mind on
you, You can bring peace to our 

115
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,680
mind. 
You can take away that tension 

116
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,920
and give us calm, knowing that 
You are the God who we can cast 

117
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,000
all of our cares on to because 
you care for us. 

118
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,440
Lord, we see this only 
emphasized, as you say, in your 

119
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,320
words, nor of the pestilence 
that walks in darkness, nor of 

120
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,680
the destruction that lays waste 
at noonday. 

121
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,200
Father, we know as we switch on 
the news in this land we live 

122
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,760
in, time is changing, this world
is changing quickly, and there 

123
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,799
are dangers. 
There are mysterious dangers 

124
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,800
ahead, things that we could 
never fathom, and yet here we 

125
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,080
have in your word that is 
everlasting, that is true, that 

126
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,520
is abiding. 
We need not fear of any of these

127
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,480
destructions, of anything that 
might befall us, even if any of 

128
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,280
us should pay the ultimate 
price. 

129
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,760
We know that we are safe because
we have trusted in your Son, the

130
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,720
Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer,
the one who brought us back, the

131
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,120
One who ransomed us with his 
very blood, the One who died on 

132
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,000
that cross, paying the price for
all of our sins, past, present, 

133
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,280
and future. 
And now we're cleansed, now 

134
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,600
we're forgiven, now we've been 
washed whiter than snow. 

135
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,080
And you, O God, take delight in 
US, seeing us not as our sins, 

136
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,560
not as our failures, but you see
us as the righteousness of 

137
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:39,520
Christ, clothed perfectly in his
robes of goodness alone. 

138
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,680
We know that verse 7 is a very 
famous verse. 1000 may fall at 

139
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:49,520
your side and 10,000 at your 
right hand, but it shall not 

140
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,920
come near you. 
Lord, we've seen this in the 

141
00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:02,920
past. 
We've seen great sadness, bad 

142
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:10,120
things happening to thousands of
people around us and yet your 

143
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,520
word says if we trust in you, 
you'll protect us. 

144
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:20,280
Father, perhaps this verse, it 
may mean for some of us You'll 

145
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,680
protect us spiritually. 
All around us. 

146
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,960
There are many people falling 
into sin, falling away from you.

147
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,760
And yet if we are trusting in 
you, if we are abiding in your 

148
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Son's love, if we're reading in 
the Word, we will not fall to 

149
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,680
all of the schemes of the evil 1
and we can rest in you. 

150
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,840
Lord, I pray whoever the person 
is who's listening to this video

151
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,680
right now, whatever time period,
whatever situation they're in, I

152
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:56,640
pray that you would wrap your 
arms around that person and keep

153
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,240
them safe. 
No matter what's going on, no 

154
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,080
matter how bad it might seem. 
Please Father, would you keep 

155
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,960
that person safe. 
Though 1010 thousand might fall,

156
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,640
please let the Christian, the 
one who loves you, stand and be 

157
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,760
safe and be near to you, for 
they trust in you. 

158
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,200
Your word says, only with your 
eyes shall you look and see the 

159
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:26,120
reward of the wicked Father. 
We have struggled in this life, 

160
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,360
you know. 
You see, You see all those who 

161
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,760
laugh at us, you see all those 
who avoid us, You see how 

162
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,920
difficult it is to do even 
simple tasks in this world 

163
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,000
because we love You. 
And yet Your word promises that 

164
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,120
ultimately the righteous will be
rewarded and the wicked will be 

165
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:56,480
rewarded for their evil. 
Lord, help us never to rejoice 

166
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,040
in seeing those who don't love 
you being judged, for we know it

167
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,880
is only by grace that You have 
kept us from being judged. 

168
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,000
But help us also to fix our eyes
on the end, and to remember that

169
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,280
the wicked will be burnt up like
the chaff. 

170
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,640
They will be gone forever. 
Help us in those moments when we

171
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,520
desire the things the wicked 
have, when we desire to go their

172
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,960
way. 
Help us to remember the way of 

173
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:32,760
the Sinner is hard. 
But help us to remember that in 

174
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,960
you there is light and life, 
that Jesus Christ is the 

175
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,360
resurrection and the life, and 
though we may die, we shall live

176
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:49,080
if we've trusted in Him. 
Help us to remember that eternal

177
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:55,360
life and riches and joy forever 
is waiting in your right hand, 

178
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,360
and we will one day share heaven
with you for all of eternity, 

179
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,440
and all the Saints on high will 
rejoice in you. 

180
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,120
So again, Lord, I pray, if 
there's anyone who's looking at 

181
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,840
the life of those around them, 
the unbeliever, and longing for 

182
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,600
it, help them to remember that 
it is far better to be safe in 

183
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,360
the Lord Jesus Christ. 
The Word says, because you have 

184
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,920
made the Lord who is my refuge, 
even the Most High your dwelling

185
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:32,480
place, no evil shall befall you,
nor shall any plague come near 

186
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:39,920
your dwelling. 
Gracious God, what a promise 

187
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,880
this is. 
Again, we do not know what the 

188
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,480
future holds, but we thank you 
that you have kept us already. 

189
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,960
Some of us have been very close 
to the end, and yet you have 

190
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,800
kept us. 
And we can say it is only 

191
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,560
because you are our refuge. 
You are our strength. 

192
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Father, help us to hold on to 
you. 

193
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Help us to remember all that you
have delivered us from already. 

194
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,800
All the times we cried out to 
you and you heard our cry. 

195
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,360
What a precious thing it is that
you heard our cry as we pray 

196
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,280
right now. 
You're listening to us just 

197
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,000
earthly vessels, and yet you, 
the everlasting God, who has 

198
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
been for billions and billions 
for all of eternity, you've been

199
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,480
here. 
There is no beginning, there is 

200
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,720
no end to you. 
And yet you hear our cry and you

201
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,520
care about those dust and ashes.
Lord, I pray, if something is 

202
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,680
around the corner, please help 
us to cling to this promise and 

203
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,720
to remember that You will keep 
us safe, You will protect us. 

204
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,360
And even if the worst should 
happen to you, Lord, not even 

205
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,920
one of the sparrows of the air 
should fall to the ground unless

206
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,200
your Father in heaven permits it
to do so. 

207
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,760
So help us to remember that 
everything, everything good or 

208
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,600
bad, is within your sovereign 
control and help us to trust in 

209
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,400
You in those times of fear and 
worry. 

210
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Lord God, here is my favorite 
verse in this chapter. 

211
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,960
For He shall give his angels 
charge over you to keep you in 

212
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,280
all your ways. 
I remember as a small child, 

213
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,880
Lord, that there were times I 
was scared in the night, and yet

214
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,680
my father, my earthly father, 
would pray with me that your 

215
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,400
angels would give charge over 
me, would keep me safe. 

216
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,240
And you did thank you that these
angels are not just for 

217
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,240
children, but for men and women,
for adults, for young and old. 

218
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,360
Oh, Lord, help us to remember 
that we are not alone in this 

219
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,400
world, that those of us who've 
trusted in you, you surround us 

220
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,520
with angels. 
There are things we cannot see 

221
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,120
right now and you've kept us 
safe because your angels are 

222
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,480
with us. 
There have been times, no no 

223
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,720
doubt for people listening right
now where Satan has wanted to 

224
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,720
sift us like wheat like he did 
wanted to do with Simon Peter. 

225
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,440
Lord, help us to remember that 
just like the evil 1 when he put

226
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,800
his finger on Job, he said you 
can only go so far. 

227
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,520
Thank you that you have 
surrounded us with angels. 

228
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,520
Lord, I just pray for everyone 
listening right now, for all 

229
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,400
those who are yours, that You 
would keep those special angels 

230
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,560
around us and help us to 
remember, to pray for Your 

231
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,680
protection, to keep us safe in 
this dark, Dark World until 

232
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,120
eventually You will return and 
we will live with You in total 

233
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,120
safety. 
And we will see these angels who

234
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,440
guarded us, that right now we 
cannot see, but we'll see them 

235
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,960
one day, and perhaps even be 
able to thank them. 

236
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,560
Above all, we will thank you for
all of eternity. 

237
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,599
Verse 12. 
In their hands they shall bear 

238
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,800
you up, lest you dash your foot 
against a stone. 

239
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,800
You shall tread upon the lion 
and the cobra, the young lion 

240
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,800
and the serpent you shall 
trample under foot. 

241
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,640
Gracious God, thank you that 
these angels keep us safe from 

242
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,680
minor dangers and major dangers 
too. 

243
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,680
And thank you that though we 
have enemies and very real 

244
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,880
fears, they're around us. 
Thank you that we are able to 

245
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,600
conquer them and to have power 
over them because of you, the 

246
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,920
Most high God, you are with us. 
If God is for us, who can be 

247
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,800
against us? 
Verse 14 because he has set his 

248
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,680
love upon me, therefore I will 
deliver him. 

249
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,480
I will set him on high because 
he has known my name. 

250
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,600
Lord, we know that you do not 
need us, but we need you. 

251
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,800
And yet in Your beauty, in your 
mercy, you want us to share in 

252
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,960
your love. 
And you take delight that we 

253
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,840
would love you. 
And Lord, we all say right now 

254
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560
as children of God, we do love 
you. 

255
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,520
Oh, we love you dearly. 
We love you and we're grateful 

256
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,240
that you have saved us. 
We're grateful that you've 

257
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,200
pulled us from darkness into 
light. 

258
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,960
And we're grateful, Lord, that 
as your children, you do promise

259
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,040
to look after us. 
You do promise to keep us and 

260
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560
care for us, and you do care for
us. 

261
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,680
Many of us have eaten today. 
Many of us have a roof over our 

262
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,200
head. 
Many of us have have a little 

263
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,320
bit of money. 
We're able to look after 

264
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,000
ourselves. 
Lord, you care for us. 

265
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,080
Thank you. 
And Lord, we just pray for any 

266
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,240
of God's children who are 
listening right now and they're 

267
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,800
feeling left. 
They're feeling abandoned. 

268
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:13,720
They're feeling like you don't 
care. 

269
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,720
Lord, please would you draw near
to that person who's hearing 

270
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,640
this prayer right now and 
feeling like these promises 

271
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,800
aren't for them? 
If they're not saved, open their

272
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,840
eyes and save them. 
But if they are a child of God, 

273
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,840
please would you pour out your 
favour on them? 

274
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,000
Please? 
Would they turn a new corner and

275
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,840
see your love and your grace 
please? 

276
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,480
Would you help them? 
And please would they know your 

277
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,760
name? 
And would they call on your name

278
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,800
and know that there is answer 
and help? 

279
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,160
As soon as we call on the name 
of the Lord, verse 15, He shall 

280
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,800
call upon me and I will answer 
him. 

281
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,800
I will be with him in trouble. 
I will deliver him and honour 

282
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,720
him. 
Thank you, Lord. 

283
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,720
That you not only take us out of
difficulty, but for many of us, 

284
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,600
you've put honour on our lives. 
People can see our past, they 

285
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,800
can see what we once were, and 
they see that we are changed 

286
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,120
now. 
We are better now, for you have 

287
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:24,400
taken us from darkness to light.
And though people may laugh at 

288
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,080
us, there is also respect for 
many of us who walk in your 

289
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,920
ways, who do not succumb to the 
things of this world. 

290
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,520
But walk according to your word,
walk according to your path, 

291
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,960
walk according to what you say 
and all of the many bells and 

292
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,600
voices of this world. 
We follow you. 

293
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,400
Again, we thank you that You do 
answer us in our present 

294
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,960
trouble. 
And again, I pray for that 

295
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,280
person who is calling on you 
right now, who need your help 

296
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,560
right now and a trouble, 
whatever that trial might be, 

297
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,440
please answer this person 
quickly and let them know that 

298
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,560
you alone, you, oh God, have 
heard their cry and you have 

299
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,520
saved them and delivered them 
from this situation. 

300
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,960
And Lord, for those of us who 
have been delivered from 

301
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,200
situations where we thought it 
was hopeless, remind us from 

302
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,480
where we've come from and help 
us to thank you again. 

303
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,560
Thank you, God, that you 
delivered me from my trials, 

304
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,080
from my troubles when I felt 
hopeless. 

305
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,440
Help us to constantly have a a 
song of Thanksgiving in our 

306
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,960
hearts and in our minds for all 
that you've done for us. 

307
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,560
And lastly, with long life, I 
will satisfy him and show him my

308
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:51,240
salvation. 
Lord, sometimes our life isn't 

309
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,160
about the length of it. 
It's about the life that's in 

310
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,720
the years that we have. 
And we know as children of God, 

311
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,240
we have eternal life breathed 
into our life. 

312
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,280
We know that Jesus said, I've 
come to give you life and life 

313
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,320
to the full. 
Oh, what a wonderful thing it is

314
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,920
to be a child of God. 
Oh, what a wonderful thing it is

315
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,000
to read the Word and know that 
you hear us and know that you're

316
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,840
speaking to me. 
What a wonderful thing it is to 

317
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,520
know that I have a new 
beginning. 

318
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:30,960
The world might say I'm useless,
the world might say I'm sinful, 

319
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,240
the world might say I'm lost. 
But I know it doesn't matter 

320
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,160
what any man, what any woman 
says about me. 

321
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,960
I know that you, the Most High 
God, love me, and I'm saved and 

322
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,800
I'm forgiven, and I have a new 
beginning in Him. 

323
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,160
Thank you that you have showed 
us your salvation. 

324
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,360
Thank you that you've showed us 
Jesus Christ, the one who rose 

325
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:57,680
from the grave. 
And thank you that the best is 

326
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,840
yet to come. 
So Father, as we think on these 

327
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,160
things, we thank you for your 
safety. 

328
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,200
We thank you for your 
protection. 

329
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,560
We thank you for your promises 
that you will look after us no 

330
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,800
matter what might happen. 
We thank you above all that the 

331
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:17,880
best is yet to come, and one day
we will see our Saviour, we will

332
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,000
see you, we will see the Lord 
God. 

333
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,840
What a day that will be. 
And let us dwell on that every 

334
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,200
day and keep that at the 
forefront of our minds. 

335
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:35,440
Let us fix our eyes on heavenly 
things and not on the things of 

336
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:41,120
this world that are passing. 
Lord God, we pray all of these 

337
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:46,200
things and ask that you would 
hear our cries to you in Jesus 

338
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,400
name, Amen.
