Angels Watching Over Me

Psalm 91:9-16
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Lord, Most High,
El Elyon,
Almighty God, You are my Savior, King of my heart and Lord of my life! Thank You for making my heart Your home. You’re my safe haven. I come in, shut the door, and rest in Your peaceful presence. From heaven on high, You order a battalion of angels to watch over me wherever I go. If I climb the highest, most majestic mountain, You are there. If I sink deep within the sea of sadness, You are there. In the darkness of distress and discouragement, You are there. In the light of love and laughter, even then, You are there. Thank You for the angels that surround the shelter of my heart, Your home.

Because I believe You love me and live in me, I’m claiming Your precious promises. I trust You to:

• Rescue me from sin and suffering
• Make me strong and mighty
• Answer me when I call You
• Be with me in times of trouble
• Deliver me from temptation
• Honor me with the prosperity of Your presence
• Satisfy me with a full life
• Give me everlasting life and happiness
  

I know that problems will pursue me and danger will distract me, but with You living in my heart, I’ll survive. Together, with the angels watching over me, we’ll trample the trouble and proclaim, "Our God reigns!" Please dear Lord, make my heart Your home today and send those beautiful, powerful angels to protect me as I come and go in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Imagine! If you are a child of God and have invited Him to live in your heart, He has sent His beautiful, powerful angels to protect you! Claim and believe His precious promises. Live in the fullness of His blessing. No matter your circumstances, He’s there, watching over You. Praise Him!

I’m reminded of the childhood lullaby, Angels Watching Over Me:

All night, all day, angels watching over me, my Lord.

All night, all day, angels watching over me.
Sun is a-setting in the West; angels watching over me, my Lord.

Sleep my child, take your rest; angels watching over me.
All night, all day, angels watching over me, my Lord.

All night, all day, angels watching over me.
