Protection

As I specifically prayed for my children today and for their safety and protection, I focused on Psalm 91, which talks about God's sovereignty. He loves us so much. And He is longing to bless us, so long as we put our trust in Him.

There are so many factors that we, as parents, try to control in our children's lives to keep them safe & to bring them up properly, but we aren't perfect. However, God is. And the factor we CAN control is how much time we invest in building our faith in Him. For it is the Lord God who keeps our family safe and brings our children up properly.

Psalm 91:9-16

⁹ Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
¹⁰ No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
¹¹ For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
¹² In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
¹³ You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
¹⁵ He shall 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 I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
